Interesting Visit

[Tom Bogar]

I'm happy to have been able to help, and consequently to see, and lay hands on, these marvelous artifacts. One of the most rewarding aspect of writing Backstage was hearing from the descendants of the 46 people whose lives I researched and (hopefully) brought to life. I did send her the letter of authentication, and encouraged her to compile a detailed cataloguing of everything (several quite large boxes). And yes, they are the real deal, held by a linear descendant of Ferguson. It was a wonderful, and yes, moving, experience. It's up to her where she goes from here with it all, and hopefully she will stay in touch.
