I agree, Roger. Donna's article kind of puts in perspective what a sorrowful mess Mary's life had become once they got to Washington. When you read all the itemized tragedies, it seems almost too much for a person to bear.

Rick's article was also fascinating. It puts a new spin on how much help Booth and Herold may have received from those along the Secret Line. Rick was also kind enough to take myself and Bill Richter there last March.
