Melvin Rowe poses with two of the students. Then he explained how his black-powder rifle works. Charlie played his fife with the students. John Clay Barnett talked about family history and items soldiers might have carried in their haversack. Charlie gave a fife to this young lady after she joined him in a fife duet.
