Brooksville Raid

This past week we lost two great people that had a huge part in putting on the Brooksville Raid event over the years. Hardee's Brigade staff General Robert Goodrich and longtime announcer Rick Moock of the 97th Regimental String Band. Our condolences to the families of these influential men. They will be greatly missed.
