Hi All,

The group has gotten very quiet indeed.. not much conversation going
on..

Anything interesting we could discuss in light of North & South. Maybe
compare other miniseries about this Era?

I am now watching "The Blue and the Gray" and I find that I like it
very much.

Take care,
Angelique

They couldn't have brought back Virgilia since she died.  I thought it more realistic that she died in Book 2.  She did herself in, and paid.  Yeah, George...
