This included employees from the Department of Environmental Protection, Police Officers and other government workers. The conference was held this weekend and was an impressive event with a great turnout.

I was impressed by the quality and numerous questions I received during the Question and Answer session after my presentation.

I was honored to be invited to speak to such an amazing group with an interest in history and would like to share this wonderful experience with all of you.

Thanks for this. It is more than nice. But here's a minor correction: Dr. Luke P. Blackburn did not try to assassinate Lincoln with an "infected" blanket, but with "infected" shirts, which were sent to the White House as a donation from an anonymous donor. The scheme was revealed by Godfrey Hyams at the trial of the conspirators. Also, please be careful about identifying Booth on the balcony at Lincoln's Second Inauguration; there are a lot of different opinions as to who, if anyone, is Booth in the famous photograph.
