Eric and Glenda Sandifer will speak on the War Between the States at the BAGS Holiday Program at 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, 28 December 2003 at the University Baptist Church on Middlebrook in Houston's Clear Lake area.
Eric Sandifer is a cannoneer with the 3rd Texas Field Artillery War Between the States reenactors and is currently serving as the 1st Lieutenant Commander of Company F, Spaight's Battalion, Camp 858 of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. In addition, Eric is the acting Historian of the St. Bartholomew Chapter of the Texas Huguenot Society and is serving as the Education Committee Chairman of the First Texas Company, National Jamestowne Society, and on the Membership Chairman of the Major John White Chapter of the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. Eric is a life member of the Baronial Order of Magna Charta, the Order of the Crown of Charlemagne in the United States and the Order of the Honorable Artillery Company. Eric He is a charter member of the Colonel Benjamin H. Norsworthy Chapter of the Military Order of the Stars & Bars, and a member of the Baytown Genealogy Society.
Eric Sandifer has provided programs for the First Texas Company of the National Jamestowne Society, the Anahauc Veterans Day Parade, a joint meeting of the Baytown SAR and DAR during Constitution Week, a tribute to veterans at services of the Second Baptist Church in Baytown during veteran's day weekend, November, 2003, the Lum-Roark Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and at two Baytown Kiwanis Club meetings--one during the "High Holy Days of the Republic," and one during the annual celebration of Flag Day.
Whenever He is asked to speak, He always prepare remarks expressly for the group who's inviting him. Eric says that Charles Dickens was an outspoken supporter of the Confederate States of America--and, of course, Dickens is best known as the author of "A Christmas Carol." And Varina Howell Davis wrote a description of Christmas at the Confederate White House during her term as First Lady. So you see Eric is fashioning a talk for the BAGS party that is appropriate for the holiday and centered around a Confederate theme.
