Thomas Howard MacDonald

Tom, oh Tom. Saying how much I miss you just doesn't cover it. Reenactments just won't be the same any longer without you. I recall the many days we sat on the porch at the tavern talking history and I was always all ears. I recall the stories, that I heard so often I could tell them better than you, and now I miss them so much. Thank you for everything that you did for me, your knowledge, your gifts and most of all...your friendship. I don't know if they do reenactments in heaven, but if they do I'm sure you are leading the pack....I miss you!

I only had the honor of meeting Thomas once, a year ago at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse reenactment, but he left a lasting impression. I was walking through the different encampments. I hadn't planned to stay for long but he, some of the other interpreters of the Guilford Militia, and I ended up talking for several hours. I only regret I did not have the opportunity to know him better. My best wishes and condolences to his family. Warmest Regards, Christian

"Sir Thomas of MacDonald", You were always the gentleman among gentlemen. You will be sorely missed by all of your re-enactment family. Proud to call you and friend, fellow veteran and Marne Man (3rd Infantry Division). Your Friend, Dennis
