Kudos to Dave Taylor on his TV appearance!

[Dave Taylor]

Thank you Roger and everyone for your kind words. The TV appearance was very much unexpected as I was only asked about a month and a half ago if I would be willing to spend the garden tour day inside of Huckleberry telling people about Thomas Jones and John Wilkes Booth. Then about a week ago I was told I was being promoted and asked if I would go on TV to help talk about the event. I was happy to do it and the garden tour had a huge turnout. About 450 people made their way through Huckleberry today and it was all I could do to tell the story quickly enough to keep the line from backing up too much.

Eva, as promised, I took some pictures of the interior of Huckleberry after the event was over. I also tried to shoot a short video of the interior but I'm afraid my iPhone video skills are a little motion sickness inducing. But, if you are willing to risk it, I but the video up as well on a post I just wrote: https://boothiebarn.com/2016/05/28/insid...ckleberry/

As Laurie stated, Kate and I have gotten pretty busy with our speaking engagements, which is always a nice problem to have. I always love talking about the assassination with people.

I am very excited about my upcoming speech at the ALPLM in Springfield on June 29th. While it is for their volunteer group, if anyone on the forum lives in the area and is interested in attending, I'd love to have you as my guests. Gene, I know you're sort of in the area and would love to meet up with you and listen to you sing each of those songs you're always putting up here on the Symposium.

Again, thank you all for the support. Little by little I feel less and less like an amateur and more like someone who actually knows what he's talking about. So much of that confidence is because of this informative symposium which always teaches me new things and the supportive community we have in the field.
