I only had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Laird on a few occasions due to how far away from Wilmington that I live, but, his efforts with the Friends of Fort Fisher was a major reason why I joined and am still a member.
As far as I know, his legacy, the friends of Fort Fisher, has to be one of the best support groups any historical site has. He was anywhere and everywhere needed in that organization and always went much further than was needed in all things.
One of the times I met, he gave me a Friends of FF hat which I value.
I am hoping that they name something in the new Fort Fisher Museum and Visitors Center after him. He certainly is deserving of that honor.
Well Miss You, Mr. Laird.
