One of my staff members at Surratt House, and a close friend for forty years, never enjoyed history as a child or young adult. When she got the bug, however, it was non-stop. She is a recognized authority on the Lincoln assassination and on the history of Washington, D.C.

I could count in the thousands the amount of visitors to Surratt House that I have heard tell me or our guides that they "never liked history in school." We've got to do our darnedest to change that!

Please forgive me as you know I am new to this forum group. Reading your remarks I take it that you run the Surratt House? That must be so exciting!! The best Job you can have is one you love doing! And I am sure you Love your (job) Thank you Gary
