The article is not about what Gettysburg will be doing for the 150th anniversary of the battle, but what they will be doing to commemorate the beginning of the 150th of the Civil War.

Sounds interesting.

Thanks for the link, Mike. It does sound like some of the events they're thinking about could be good. I'd like the be there for the cannons at the Peace Light--too bad they couldn't have them on Seminary Ridge like the Pickett-Pettigrew charge, but 150 cannon anywhere would sound (and feel) sweet!
