      Lon Lacey, Jerry Hubbard, and Bill Schwetke met with the Culpeper City Parks and Recreation Commission this evening to present the CMM plan for a memorial to Maj Gabriel Long in Yowell Meadow Park and a ceremony to dedicate the new memorial.  The Commission unanimously approved our request.  Culpeper Town Planner Charles Rapp also attended and expressed support for our proposal.  Next we need approval from the Culpeper City Council which should be granted with the strong support we received from all present.
     Currently we have requests pending before VASSAR's Knight Patty Trust Fund for help with financing the project, and with the Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps for their support for the dedication ceremony.  The dedication ceremony is tentatively scheduled for June 27th, rain or shine, with a inclement weather venue of Culpeper County High School.
     This will be the first of a small group of markers to recognize notable patriots from the original Culpeper Minute Men of 1775.  Lon Lacey, our Gabriel Long Memorial Committee Chairman, has done great work in moving this project toward completion.  He has received noteworthy assistance from Jerry Hubbard, Don Jennings, and Gar Schulin.
