Speech: Joseph Booth: The Youngest Brother of John Wilkes Booth
Speaker: Dave Taylor
Description: Of all of the Booth brothers, it was only the youngest Booth, Joseph Adrian who shunned the spotlight. Born into a family of actors, young Joseph only briefly entered the family profession before realizing he exited the stage for good. While far less is known about Joseph than his famous (and infamous) brothers, the details we we do know paint a fascinating tale of an enigmatic brother. In his speech, Dave will examine the life of Joseph Adrian Booth and the impact Lincoln’s assassination had on his life.

Fab posting, Dave. See ya in march. I’m just ret’d fr. a briefforced hiatus, due to “Sandy.” Still lots to do, but most of the hurdles have been jumped.
Glad to see you back, Richard. I missed your insights these last few months.
