George Atzerodt's Little girl Edith

[Jim Garrett]

The other good news, is that more information continues to become more easily available and we have much greater opportunities to work together and build on others. It's always important to remember that much of what we do is from the work laid before us by others, either directly or indirectly. Case in point, I have been so unbelievably fortunate to have Rich Smyth as my co-conspirator. We have been able to build off each other. We also owe no small debt of gratitude for the likes of Laurie Verge, Sandra Walia, James O. Hall, Mike Kauffman, Roger Norton, Herb Collins, Cleo Coleman, Ed Steers, John Howard, Dave Taylor (er, well maybe Dave Taylor ) and so many others. People we will never know, have made research so much easier, and each month, more materoial is available. When we think we reached a dead end, just wait, a new path emerges.
