Folks,
It’s with great sadness that I have to announce the closing of
CWi. My health just won’t permit me to continue.As you can imagine,after 16
years this breaks my heart, but I’d rather put out no product than a poor
quality product.
If my health improves, perhaps I can try
again.
I’ll keep you posted.

His marksmanship in state and national tournaments is beyond incredible, and he reigns supreme in this sport with perfect scores. Ethan developed this advanced skill at a very young age and has honed his talents over time.

Under the dome of the Capitol Rotunda, women in hoop skirts and men in dress blues and grays twirled, waltzed and promenaded to the music of the Philadelphia Brigade Band Saturday night.
But before the 10th Civil War Preservation Ball could begin in, there was a little matter of the metal detector inside the front doors.

Cuts in funding to the National Park Service in Gettysburg, Pa., due to the sequester mean less staff on-hand, including a hiring freeze on two major positions at the park.
The national sequester, which went into effect March 1, included across the board funding cuts for the Department of Defense, the National Institutes of Health and the National Park Service. In recent weeks, the Obama administration has stopped tours of the White House due to budget cuts.
