Bill Buell retires today after many years at the Daily Gazette, and will become Schenectady County historian.

I'm quoted in it, and am on friendly terms with both Buell and Trimm, but this story is not really about the Civil War. It is about the war in Vietnam, to where Trimm decided he would not be drafted, and how that decision shaped his life.
