From John R Leathers ..., March 30, 1999

I wanted to drop you a note and let you know how much we enjoyed the event at Port Hudson. It was the first time for all of us to visit the park and the first time for most of us to visit South Louisiana. The weather was beautiful and the scenarios were great. I think a lot of other events could learn a lesson or two on how to put on a good scenario for the public from your event. Please express our gratitude to all concerned in this event for allowing us to participate and for doing such a great job.

Sincerely,
John R Leathers

From Port Hudson SCA ..., April 2, 1999

Once again I want to thank you and the 8th Louisiana Infantry for a fine job. Mike, Cody, Brent and I all agree that we have the best host unit possible. Thanks for all the help with pre- registration, registration, planning great scenarios and executing the plan. The battles were great and the public loved every minute. This year's reenactor attendance and public attendance were much greater than last year. We suspect that we had about 550 living historians in attendance if you count the dancers, band, sutlers, etc. Our jambalaya vendor served over 500 meals. Our visitation for the two days was 3,534. That beat last year by about 600. We feel that we had a great event.

We do hope to have the 8th host our event next year.

Sincerely,

Gregg Potts
Commemorative Area Manager
