RE: Thank You Richard and Kellie Gutman!
Most of these were taken on a very early Booth Tour (note that our first carriages were school buses!). That said, many of the faces are not even familiar to me because they were "general public" who paid to go on one of the Surratt tours. Here's what/who I can identify:

1. Close-up of the two-inch piece of what is believed to be part of Booth's crutch retrieved from the burning barn.
2. The back-drop is the tennis courts at Ft. McNair, marking the site of the execution of four conspirators in 1865. Pictured are Nancy Griffith (former Surratt Society president), John Brennan, Kellie Gutman, James O. Hall, Ken Griffith, Joan Chaconas, and Pep Martin (expert on the Arnolds and O'Laughlens).
3. Mike Kauffman
4. James O. Hall and a Prince George's County Police historian that I cannot remember the name of are the only two I recognize. The policeman has his head down in the right side of the photo.
5. Louise Arehart (fading off the left side) in blue outfit, Mike Kauffman, and Ray Martin.
6. Same three with Pep Martin in back left gesturing.
7. Art Loux in light jacket with back showing, Kellie, and Richard Gutman
8. Kellie Gutman and Mike Kauffman at the river's edge at Dent's Meadow.
9. Kellie and the historical marker - that has just disappeared from the Garrett site within the past few weeks.
10. Pep and Ray Martin with Janet Abshier (former Surratt docent)
11. Miss Maude Motley, owner of the sliver of crutch and one of the last of the great Southern ladies.
12. Kellie Gutman holding Booth's walking stick.
