Whats really so neat about this story is when i was a young boy my father owned a body shop in Athens Ohio and on summer breaks from school and on Saturdays i would work in the body shop for my father, and i used to sneak up town to get away from the hard work and there was a Civil War Monument with soldier Statues on it. and i had know idea i would end up owning two of the Generals Presentation Swords and his Presentation very rare wood cane from the Famous British Battle ship Royal Savage 1176,
