Dianne Kauffman
Dianne is a member of the Kent Civil War Society and The Cuyahoga Civil War Roundtable. She has held a variety of offices in each. While her re-enacting days are over (it is just too darn hot and humid....and age makes getting up from the ground an unlady-like spectacle). Her main interest is the human aspects of the Civil War: spies (male and female), animals' contributions to the war effort, the Lincoln assassination, and how the "common" woman coped with the war.
