While Joe and I disagree on how Booth was killed, I do agree with him that Richter and Smith disproved much of Dr. Lattimer's work. I was/am good friends with all four gentlemen, and I wish that Dr. Lattimer were still alive (or that I had known the other three) back in the 1970s-1990s so that they could experiment and argue in tandem. In fact, this would make a wonderful presentation at a Surratt conference.
