RE: 2015 Surratt Conference
Amazing conference! Best presentations in the four times I've been to the conference. Definitely served as impetus for me to get back to work on my book.
Met many new Boothies, including quite a number of members of this forum. I was very surprised by the number of books in the works by our members. As with previous conferences, I picked up many bits of information for my book, including more of the story behind Ford's switching the knife purportedly used by Booth. One tidbit: During one renovation of Ford's Theater, Booth's Deringer was removed and placed in the vault at Riggs Bank around the corner, located on the site of the Herndon House where the conspirators met just before the assassination. Booth probably had the Deringer with him at the Herndon so it returned to familiar ground. I probably shouldn't try this because I'm sure to leave someone out and I don't know the username of everyone. These are the forum members I know were present. BettyO Eva Elisabeth ReignetteC Jim Garrett Linda Anderson L Verge Dave Taylor Tom Bogar Lincoln Wonk Rick Smith Houmes Diane T. Putney John Fazio Lindsey Frederick Hatch Bill Richter STS Lincolnite Matthew __ sorry I don't know your username A couple of ladies from PA but I forgot the usernames Wesley Harris The volume of knowledge of this group is nothing short of astounding and I'm proud to know you all! |
