John Wilkes Booth's Escape Route

[Eva Elisabeth]

Gary - I am so glad you had such a wonderful weekend, especially as I recall you looking forward to it for so long. I agree, both tours are fascinating, and the "Surratt staff" is doing an awesome job. Kudos, Laurie! (As for getting carried away I enjoy what you write when you do.) I, too, am in favor of teaching via illustrating, exploring, and using various sensory channels (despite seeing and hearing touching, smelling and tasting - did I forget any?) and "Realia" - real, original items. It must be wonderful to work in such a place and create "learning events".

Gene, re.: "One day I hope to take the Booth escape tour" - that's what I hope regarding your Springfield trip!
