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.

The volume of knowledge of this group is nothing short of astounding and I'm proud to know you all!

Wes -

Next year I will make a point to seek you out and introduce myself, as I was there as well.

(PS - In re-reading this after I posted it, it half sounds like an admonishment, which was most certainly not my intention. What I had intended was simply an expression that I hope someday our paths will cross.)
