John Elliott told me the other day that he talked to Susan Lemke, Librarian at the National Defense University at McNair. She told him that Mike Kauffman was there and that they were doing a spot on the trial room in Grant Hall (also known as Quarters 20.) Today the article appeared on the CNN site - here's the link:

Great article! John Elliott, Barry Cauchon and myself have had the great pleasure to work with Susan and others regarding the construction of the prisoner's dock and witness stand in the trial room (utlizing period wood in the trial room) and we're now "set dressing" the room. The chairs in the prisoner's dock will be removed and benches will be placed there "for the prisoners" as well as for the "courtroom audience."
It's GREAT to see this thing shaping up for it's 150 anniversary in 2015!
