Herndon Observer Photo by Christopher L. Moore Jessica Wise, fellow member of the Atlantic Guard Soldier's Aid Society (with Anita and Kathryn), with young Ian Michel, son of bugler David Michel of the 2nd US Cavalry. This was Ian's first event as a reenactor and he portrayed a young boy visiting his father on duty. (Ok, typecasting -- but he did a great job. His papa made his clothes the night before, bless him!) (Herndon Times Photo) Jess's clothing is typical of what working & lower middle class women (the bulk of the population) would wear in small towns.
