Guest guest Posted March 8, 2000 Report Share Posted March 8, 2000 I will be unable to attend Gettysburg as I made previous plans to go with my daughter on her college trip to the Metropolitian Museum of Art in NYC. I remember reading info on another list about Washington's Rally, but couldn't find it. Does anyone have it? Thanks BTW, Amtrak is having a special deal that may help people going to Washington. The first person pays full price, second person pays half price, and third person goes free. Their website is WWW. Amtrak.com.
