The pleasure was ours.

Rick, as always, is being extremely modest concerning his generosity. Not only did Rick custom make my crutches, he also took me up to Gettysburg so that I could purchase some period clothes. If it weren't for Rick, I would be stuck wearing my Booth Escape Route t-shirt from Surratt House instead of these dashing clothes:



P.S. Those are non-firing replicas of Booth's Army and Navy Colt.

Dave,

That is some very nice hardware you are sporting.

The hat is one of the best, made by Dirty Billy. For those who are interested, the red silk lining in the hat Dave is wearing is stamped with an appropriate historical hat maker's mark, which has an address of Pennsylvania Ave., Wash., DC. And Dave's shirt is a blue wool flannel shirt, ala JWB, made by Kara Bartels of Gettysburg.

The only problem, as I see it, is that Dave looks more like Bob Younger than Booth.
