I saw this interesting bit in the Mississippi History Newsletter that the Mississippi Dept. of Archives & History puts out monthly. I notice that now they’ve started posting the newsletter online too, which is helpful.
Free Preservation Boot Camp Set For June 18-19
Following the success of last summer’s pilot program, the Historic Preservation Division of MDAH is once again offering its Preservation Boot Camp. This free workshop is designed for preservation leaders at the local level but open to all interested parties as space allows. “We invite anyone who is taking an active role in preserving the history of the state or local community or who hopes to take an active role in the future,” said MDAH chief architectural historian Jennifer Baughn. The Preservation Boot Camp will be held June 18-19 at the William F. Winter Archives and History Building in Jackson. To reserve a space, call 601-576-6940.

I wonder if they’ll make us do push-ups? As long as we get to paint our faces in camouflage colors, I could do a few push-ups. But I hope they don’t yell in my face and make me cry . . .
