Booth's diary and missing pages

[richard]

I spoke with a friend who is forensic document examiner (a retired Michigan State cop) and we believe the missing pages from Booth's diary can be retrieved at least in part. We've petitioned Ford's Theater to allow us access to the diary but were denied. The testing is non invasive, but would require about 2 weeks to perform a complete set of tests but they don't want the diary out of public view. Talk to the FBI and they have the equipment to run the tests themselves but said they're only investigation criminal matters. Any suggestions on how to get the Park Services to reconsider our petition? Reply: lassin@sbcglobal.net
