We will have both the March issue of Smithsonian Magazine and the special edition on the assassination available (in limited quantities) at the Surratt Conference.

Laurie, do you by any chance have any copies left?

I'm pretty sure we still have some copies and can also order more. Please send me an email at work to jog my memory. I'm flexing off "overtime" - for which we don't get paid - after putting in so many extra hours at the conference. I won't return to work until Wednesday.

P.S. Forget what I just said. I called the museum; we do still have copies (dumb me forgot to ask how much); I asked a staff member to pull one of each and leave on my desk.

The museum is hopping today! Dave Taylor is conducting his first tour as narrator over the Booth Escape Route for us. Please send good thoughts because his first group is composed of all lawyers (apologies to any lawyers out there, but y'all can be a tough group to keep up with!). No sooner did that bus pull out than regular visitors started walking in. Rick Smith is one of the guides today, so I hope it stays busy 'cause Rick enjoys to be kept busy.

Laurie,

Not long after the Escape Route bus left the premises, and the usual call had come in from the Mudd House, the deluge began. We were very busy.

By the way, young Dave looked great in his 19th century period clothing, and I complimented him on it.
