Surratt Society Meeting and "Conference" 2021

[wpbinzel]

What Scott did not know when he proposed the topic for a presentation to the Surratt Society, is that I jumped on it because I (and I suspected many others) have a great interest in it. About five years ago, a professor at MIT (who happens to be my younger brother) asked me the "ages" or "angles" question, which prompted me do research on the topic and respond. While I did not know what Scott's findings or conclusions were in advance, I was confident that they would be well-researched and well-documented. My research was nowhere as near comprehensive as Scott's, but based on his presentation, i believe that he and I are in the same camp (although, as Scott suggests, we may have taken different paths to get there). I look forward to reading his published manuscript. In the meantime, I join with those thanking and congratulating Scott for a excellent presentation.
