The feature speaker will be William Latham, and his topic will be “Our Confederate Heritage: Why echoes of the past are relevant for today” Although William Lathem has a degree is in Electrical Engineering, he has always had an interest in history. William joined the Sons of Confederate Veterans in 1991 after he discovered he had a Confederate great great grandfather. Since then William has served at both the local and statewide level for the SCV. Most of his research regarding the War Between the States has focused on what caused the war, the POW situation during the war and what were the long term consequences of the war.

The First troop ride was to Ocoee on March 22nd 2009.  The ride was very nice, the weather was excellent and the company was great.  We made a stop at Freddie’s to wet our whistles.  Some of us even tried the pickled eggs…

Our next ride will be on the 26th of April with Al Creamer
as the host rider.
