Surratt Society Assassination Conference

[L Verge]

I just had the first opportunity to talk with Joan Chaconas, my right-hand man at Surratt House who coordinates all of our off-site bus tours - including those for the conference. She received many great comments about both of the tours this year, and she was especially impressed with the job that John Elliott did at Ft. McNair. She, herself, used to give tours at the Fort for the Smithsonian; but she raved about Dave's knowledge -- without notes, off the top of his head, answering questions easily, etc.

I received many compliments about John's speech on Saturday also. He handled it with the same aplomb that Joan described above. He was our lead-off speaker and set the high tone for the rest of the day. THANK YOU, MR. ELLIOTT!
