Nominee #1
Barbara Adams
For all of her multitude of volunteer preservation work on the battlefield--cannons, plaques, etc., and for continuing to assist with her late husband's seminar at GNMP.
Nominee #2
Denise Warthen
Denise is the events coordinator for the Gettysburg Foundation. Among the many member events she organizes and plans is the Remembrance Illumination. This popular event commemorates the lives lost during the 3 day Battle of Gettysburg with a candle on each of the approximately 3500 Civil War graves in the Soldiers National Cemetery. She has some help from a core group of volunteers, but the hours she puts into this event are obvious to all who see the sight.
