RE: Surratt Conference presentations
Betty, What great pictures. I especially liked the pictures of court room. I would have loved to say I was there. Reading all the posts today I would say that the conference was a total success and fun for all. I really hope to be able go next year. I also wanted to tell you that I finished your book on Paine. What a great book! Your reseach on Lewis must have been exhausting. I cannot wait to get my hands on your second book on Lewis. A job well done! Thank you. Gary

Hope you decide to write this book because I believe it would be well received by many. Good luck. Gary |

If we can figure out a way to get information out there without hurting our attendance (and with the cooperation of our speakers), we'll try to make it happen. |

RE: Surratt Conference presentations
My third consecutive conference and the best of the three in my opinion. Maybe it was because I've gotten to know so many of you well and had some great conversations and adventures before & during the conference. Maybe it was because of the best batch of speakers who not only knew their subject matter but presented it well. I'm suspecting Laurie will have to cram in more seating next year.

RE: Surratt Conference presentations
To all y'all, I know that my entire presentation was really nothing more than a 90-minute "thank you" to you all...but, I just have to say it again:
Thank you, Laurie, Betty, Tom, Blaine, John (Jeff), Barry, Jim, and all my new friends. It was such an honor, and such a grand time. The only downside is -- in the midst of all that I'm doing -- needing to write and produce something relevant enough to come and speak again! And thank goodness for this forum, where I can stay in touch with you truly wonderful folks, your hearts and minds. E |

It's great for us to have the opportunity to see what's involved in putting together a beautiful production such as "Killing Lincoln" We all have a much greater appreciation of the work. |

RE: Surratt Conference presentations
One of our excellent speakers at the conference was Dr. Blaine Houmes, who spoke on three medical mysteries related to the conspirators. One of the topics was Mary Surratt's female problems which have been "gently" reported on over the years. We know that at one point, her problems were so severe that a separate room was set up off the courtroom for Mary, and Anna was allowed to administer to her mother's needs.
There has been speculation as to what was causing the problems - change of life, fibroid tumors, etc. Blaine touched on the various possibilities, including uterine cancer, based on the sparse information available. To me, there was one specific reference in Blaine's report that certainly seemed to point to cancer - but I prefer not to post it here. He also spoke on Powell's possible mental state and the fate of Michael O'Laughlen's remains. |

RE: Surratt Conference presentations
Laurie, thanks for the feedback on Mary Surratt's health.
Lincoln, I do not believe there is even a remote possibility that I am related to Wm Petersen. From what I read, Wm Petersen is of German decent. (How did a German get the name Petersen) We can trace a family farm back to Denmark. Actually the original name was Pedersen, but when they got to NY the agent changed the name to the American spelling. Again thx for the posts . Moon pies? have anyone had a Philly cheese steak form Pat's. |

RE: Surratt Conference presentations
Richard,
Thanks for explaining. Most Petersens are Danish, but some are German. Pat's cheesesteaks are very wonderful, and another best food in Philadelphia is Tacconelli's Pizza, a little old pizza place in the Port Richmond section, one of the river wards. GQ called it one of the top ten pizza places in America. Nicholas Cage showed up when he was filming in Philadelphia in snakeskin jeans and a leather bomber coat. The owner said, "He didn't blend."

RE: Surratt Conference presentations
I should have explained a little better on the food. From Illinois but spent sometime in Philly last weekend and had a Pat's. Excellent.
