It has been a week since we requested permission from Ford's Theatre Society to bring a second Booth Tour bus to see the special exhibit at the Ford's Education Center on Sunday -- no response, but we're still hoping. We have at least 25 on a waiting list now, so if those don't mind that they will not have James Swanson as their narrator, it'll be a go. John Howard, who is one of our regular tour narrators every year (making the trek from New Jersey at least four times and usually more) has already agreed to be the narrator. We also plan to stagger the buses close enough together that participants on both buses can converse at stops with Swanson and Howard. I hope to have good news next week.

We got the good news today! We have permission to run a second Manhunt bus on the Sunday of the Surratt conference. The narrator will be our own John Howard, a member of this forum as well as one of our regular Booth tour narrators each year. John has done 4-5 tours each year for nearly a decade -- very knowledgeable and very personable. If you have been waiting to register until we found out about the second bus, it's a go!
