2017 Surratt Conference

[Thomas Kearney]

Does that plan B include a tour of the Ford's Theater campus with yours truly? If so here is the biography I want on the Surratt House web page:

You could say Thomas Kearney grew up around history. At the age of nine, after making his first visit to Ford's Theater, he decided he wanted to study this history shaping event. Fast forward 11 years and one high school diploma later, Kearney is quickly becoming one of the leading authorities on the Lincoln assassination. He is the host of the YouTube series "The Lincoln Assassination: Behind The History" launching February 12, 2017. He even stayed up all night (much to his parents chagrin) at Ford's in 2015 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the assassination. He also appeared in an episode of the YouTube series "The Lincoln Traveler". When not researching the assassination in his native Maryland or driving Surratt House director Laurie Verge insane, Kearney has served as the backup announcer at Timonium Race Course since 2015.
