RE: Identification of Booth's body
I thank you too for sharing and know that it took stamina to use your personal experience to reinforce a scientific and historical fact in this case. Having worked with you long distance before, I know that you are a very caring person and one who wants to make sure that history is told accurately.

Folks, Christine is the person who became interested in Frederick Aiken, Mrs. Surratt's lawyer, when she found out that James McAvoy (a favorite actor of her's - and now mine) would be portraying him in The Conspirator movie. Very few people even knew about Aiken ten years ago, but Christine went to work and flushed out a great bio as well as spurring the Surratt Society to raise funds to mark his grave in Oak Hill Cemetery in D.C.'s Georgetown. I believe that she is also the one who recommended the wonderful first sentence of his closing defense for Mrs. Surratt as the inscription on that gravestone.

Go here http://www.surrattmuseum.org/frederick-aiken-gravesite to learn more about the marking of his grave and also click on Finding Frederick to read the bio written by Christine.
