Spring Speaking Schedule for Dave, Kate, and Jim

[Dave Taylor]

Thanks for the support, Tom. When I was originally asked to speak for the benefit of Rich Hill and Port Tobacco, I was under the impression it would be a normal speech about Booth and/or his conspirators. It was only a few weeks ago that I was told that they were expecting a first person performance. While Kate can do that extremely well (as you will all see at this year's Surratt Conference banquet), I'm not quite sure how I will be at it. As you can see I'm embracing it but there is a good chance that this will be my only first person performance as Booth.

Also, I'm hoping that by the time March comes around I'll be able to grow an appropriate enough mustache. I've been testing it out and growing a little bit of one recently. When I get a chance I'll show you the progress.
