Sorry we didn't see you guys!! Dave and I are already talking about our next visit to the Fort for the April flea market. We were there right when they opened and out of there around noon as I was taking the DHS' Palmer Woods walking tour at 1pm. That also was terrific, given the beautiful weather this afternoon!! |

Yes, I was on Jane's tour. I'm the one that showed up very close to 1pm, wearing the black tech vest with gray hoodie underneath and lugging the large camera bag. Sorry to have missed an opportunity to meet a fellow Forumer!!! |

Side note... I had never been to Fort Wayne for a flea market. I had to say I was pleasantly surprised to see it was a real flea market selling genuine offbeat old and used items, not a bunch of hacks simply retailing what one could find in any dollar store. A couple of re-enactor shots... 101st Airborne [WWII] with SS Prisoner. WWII Soviet Soldiers.
