2015 Surratt Conference

[L Verge]

Now that the conference is over, I bet we can all look forward to The Lincoln Tribute!

The one moment that I would truly like to be present in the city for is the planned tolling of church bells. That mournful rhythm (if performed by folks who know how to do it) should be very moving and meaningful.

In the back of my mind, however, I keep wondering how the citizens of D.C. (who aren't already on their way to work) will handle being awakened in such a manner. And, how many have been forewarned? How many hysterical phone calls will go out to police stations, 911, even Homeland Security?
