Of course, how could I forget? Fred Seward wore the fez for the rest of his life. Who is this gentleman?

I think he looks a lot like Dr. Verdi.

That is a great guess, Joe, but it's not him.

Hint #1: He is mentioned briefly in both Jim and Rich's book and in Tom Bogar's book. I do not think much is known about him. I could easily have put this question in the trivial trivia thread.

Last guess before I start cheating. James Ferguson, the saloon keeper?

Eva, that is also a good guess, but it's not him, either.

Hint #2: He worked at Ford's Theatre.

The page I'm cheating off is a mess. James St. Clair? Or it could be John Houston.

You got it, Joe. Kudos. James St. Clair was an usher at Ford's. His photo is on p. 34 of Jim and Rich's book.

The biggest thing down here in the South last weekend was the Alabama-Auburn game. I had Alabama. I will send you all I got off that bet.
