Kudos to Dave Taylor on his TV appearance!

[L Verge]

Dave stopped by Surratt House after his television interview, and he, Joan Chaconas, and I chatted for over an hour. He's doing a lot of speaking at civic organizations, etc. in our area. In several weeks, he will be taking the assassination story into the Land of Lincoln. He will be talking to the volunteer organization that works in tandem with the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in order to get them up-to-speed on the details of the assassination part of the full Lincoln story.

His partner, Kate Ramirez (also of this forum), is equally busy in our history field. Several weekends ago, she was at the Port Tobacco Market Days in Charles County, where she did a first-person presentation as Mary Surratt. She has also been focusing on the theatrical careers of the Booths and will be talking at Tudor Hall several times this summer.

Oldsters in the field, like Betty, Joan, and I, have been concerned about who will take up the historical torch and carry on when we settle back in our rocking chairs on the nursing home porch and start to drool. Looks like we have at least a handful poised to replace us -- Dave, Kate, Paige, Scott Schroeder...
