Jeff and Michelle

We were conducting tours one day when one of the couples came to relieve us saying that someone from American Fork was here to see us.  Imagine our surprise when we saw Jeff and Michelle.  They were in San Diego for the BYU game - which they said was awesome - and came to the Battalion.  We took them through the Battalion and went out to dinner afterwards where we caught up on each other's families.  One thing that we have found at the Battalion is the number of people who have ancestors that went on the march who are drawn to the Mormon Battalion Historical Site.  It was fun to show Michelle and Jeff some of the actual historical things that have been donated - two muskets - one that has the name of the Battalion member who owned it carved in the Stock.  There's a fife that the great-great grandson of George Washington Taggert, the Battalion member who owned it, was surprised to find it here.  He had wondered what had happened to it.
