Reply #11: It was good ... [View All]

People like me, who became entranced by the movie Gettysburg despite its ample technical, historical, and artistic faults, seemed really to love it. A lot of the same people were in both movies. Beringer, who played Longstreet in Gettysburg, played Roosevelt in the Rough Riders. A particularly good moment was when Patrick Gorman, the actor that played General John Bell Hood in Gettysburg, showed up with a bit part. He played an old Civil War soldier who was watching the train pass with Roosevelt's volunteers on it and made a comment that was a reference to _The Killer Angels_, the book on which Gettysburg was based.

But I digress. As you know, I can go on and on and on... :-)

Further digression ... Patrick Gorman had a part in the satirical movie _George Bush Goes to Heaven_.

When you have the time, send me some info on that organization you mentioned to which your mother belongs. I want to look into that.
