Regimental Shoot Plans and Curious Germantown Stone Tale
Orders have been issued for the Sixth regiment marksmen to assemble at the Galt rifle range on June 18 for the annual regimental shoot with teams entering five men and a selected six to compete in the state Logan event. The regimental cup will also be contested, likely drawing teams from most companies. A Germantown stone bears a 969 year aged inscription for Adam Shisler dated December 28, 1777, the result of a mis carved date that left 969 years due to errors and cement repairs.
