Addressing Gettysburg

LBGs Ralph Siegel and Jessie Wheedleton care. They care about ye who want to become guides here at Gettysburg. Therefore, they're on the show to clue you in to the realities of guiding. Are you going to be that "Rock Star Guide" you fantasized about night after night? Or are you most likely going to give tours to sweaty, bored families, dreaming about their reservation at the Chinese Buffet? Actually, the buffet is good, so I wouldn't blame them.

Marc Charisse is the former editor of the Hanover Evening Sun and, now, he hosts showings of the historic Gettysburg Electric Map. We discuss its history from creation to destruction by the park service to recovery and rehabilitation by private citizens with a love and respect for our history and the artifacts associated with it. Marc is also a magician and he showed me some tricks that only made me feel stupid once I learned how they work.

You can visit the map to this day. Marc gives the info in the show.
