If I am subjected to that John Stevenson story one more time, I will gladly hop on board that ship that is headed for Mobile right now!

I can't read that. I can make out hat and pistol and maybe Payne?

Joe, blame my cheaper scanner and the guy who tries to operate it (scan came from Shelton's book).

Close enough - that is Eckert's written receipt for Payne's (Powell's) hat and pistol.

RE: Assassination Trivia
How times have changed (or maybe not) My parents would have freaked out Sad if I had come home from college looking like that. And I would have done the same if my son came home from college looking like that. Looks can be deceiving. As my wife says "he's only a good haircut away from looking normal"

You win, Betty. Kudos. Augur looks like he may have had the same problem Lewis Powell had in prison.

As with Gene, you win a free cruise aboard the Carnival Triumph as soon as they complete the ship's wiping down. As a special bonus, I have arranged that your families, relatives, etc. can go, too.

I think Rich nailed it. Rich- I drove through Milford yesterday. Somebody needs to have a sit down with the road department.

Good job, Rich and Joe. That is Richard Mudd with the couch where Dr. Samuel Mudd examined JWB's leg. Richard Mudd had the couch renovated in a Saginaw, Michigan, upholstery shop in 1953, and the picture is from the May 10, 1953, edition of the Saginaw News.

I forgot to give a prize to Gene yesterday for correctly answering the trivia question about President Tyler's dog.

I am sending all three of you gentlemen free concrete couches from you know where.
