It has been gangbusters at Surratt House today with large groups going on tour with us every half hour. Some were a little bleary-eyed from lack of sleep as they bragged about participating in the all-night vigil at Ford's.

For days, Susan, I have meant to ask about your avatar. Do you have a name and bio for the lady?

Sadly, I have neither. All I know is that the photographer who took her picture was in Frederick, Maryland. (I've developed a weakness for collecting carte-de-visites lately, and I loved her stand-up collar and her adorably prim expression.)
