Passing of Bill Binzel

[Tom Bogar]

I am extremely sad to announce that Bill Binzel passed away this morning at 5:00 A.M.  Bill was a long time member of this forum and will be missed by all.  I will post more information as I learn of it.  Thank you to Rick Smith for sending me the sad news.

This is such sad news. In addition to his extensive accumulated knowledge and leadership of the Surratt Society, Bill was just an all-around wonderful guy. His kindness, his readiness to share his knowledge, and his dedication to the cause of Lincoln scholarship were unsurpassed. He will be greatly missed. My deepest condolences to Bill's family.
