Prof. Drexler --

As a student of military history, I would be curious to hear how your
proposed SHA session develops. If you wind up with a western slant, you
might consider also submitting it as a future session proposal to the
Western History Association.  They might be interested in your "history as
handmaiden" approach.  That statement should not be taken in a negative
way. If Historical Arcaheology is to grow and mature into the 21st centruy,
I think that SHA needs to forge closer ties to the history profession.
I've orgainzed and chaired sessions on that concept at both SHA and WHA
meetings.

Strike 'em hard!
