The 1946 "Boothies"' trip

[L Verge]

"Thanks, I guess if I'm passing that way again I would be interested to see the town...so what happened to the piece of crutch? And wasn't there a lock of JWB's hair the young woman got from one of the examining doctors that morning?"

I have lost track of what has happened with that poor lock of hair that descendants have been trying to sell for years. As for the crutch, it is in good hands. The very recent author of an excellent biography on John Wilkes Booth finally was able to purchase it from the Motley descendant who had inherited it.
