Right. The latest edition does not mention the two-year deal at $20, so apparently it's now only offered at one year for $12. The current edition includes reviews of two books mentioned frequently on the forum --> Fortune's Fool and Decapitating the Union.

I received the following information from Fred Hatch:

"The current price of Journal of the Lincoln Assassination is $12 per year (single issue), with previous issues $4 per copy of issues dated from 1987-2007, and $12 per issue for expanded issues dated from 2008-present. A free list of the contents of all past issues is available."

Thanks! I'll send off for the list.

Thanks, Susan. I just got this update from Fred Hatch:

"Roger: I forgot to mention about the $20 price for two years. It is still in effect, and it can save a subscriber four dollars. Paying ahead for two years also saves having to bother with it between the first and second year. We have not changed the prices in years, something few publications these days can say. Another unique or nearly unique feature of the Journal is that all of the previous issues are still available. Someone just coming to the magazine now, or filling in past issues which have been mislaid, need not be disappointed in trying to get past copies. Thanks again."

It appears that Frederick Hatch, the author of the Journal of the Lincoln Assassination and several books on the subject, passed away last year on May 7, 2024. For many years, Fred was also a docent at the Dr. Samuel A. Mudd House Museum. I remember bringing bus tours to the Mudd house and having Fred as one of our guides. My friend Bob Bowser at the Mudd House Museum realized that he hadn't heard from Fred in some time and did a quick search. All Bob could scrounge up was a single-sentence obituary from the Huntt Funeral Home in Waldorf. This is the same funeral home that took care of Laurie Verge's funeral a few years back: https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituari...h-11824702
From FindaGrave, it appears that Fred was buried in the Maryland Veterans Cemetery in Prince George's County, Maryland: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/2712...ck-j-hatch

Fred was a diligent researcher and a respected author. I'm sorry to learn of his passing, especially at such a late date. I know that folks at the Mudd house would have attended his funeral services had they known about it. He gave them many great years.

Thank you, Dave, for posting this sad information. I have been a subscriber to Fred's Journal for as long as I can remember. Fred was such a professional and will certainly be missed.
