That's one biggggg knife you have there - I didn't realize it was that big.

Thanks, Gene.

The knife I'm using is modern replica of the same type Booth had. The length of the blade is about 8 1/2 inches.

Laurie,

The engraving of Booth and Herold crossing the bridge comes from the book, "The United States Secret Service in the Late War" by Lafayette Baker. It is one of two color engravings in that book along with an engraving of Booth in the Garrett barn:

This is very professionally done - and you are a wonderful speaker!

Are you doing video editing on a laptop? If so, perhaps you need a cooling board. I have one and it keeps the fans going so it doesn't overhead the machine when doing high video/graphics editing. The board plugs into a USB port and keeps the PC cool. They are fairly inexpensive - about $20.00.

I'm doing my editing on a desktop computer, Betty. For some reason, my CPU runs hot even when I'm not doing video editing. When I start to render, however, it kicks into overdrive and the temperature jumps way up real fast. I may need to reapply thermal paste, but I'm not experienced with messing with the inside of my computer. I'll probably need to seek the advice of an expert, but for now, I can make do. Thanks for the suggestion and the compliments, though.
