Isosceles Triangle Collinear Conjecture

Isosceles Triangle Collinear Conjecture

If ΔABC is isoscles with AB = AC and D, E and F are the feet of the angle bisectors of ΔABC, then what do you notice about the incentre I of ΔABC, the orthocentre H and circumcentre O of ΔDEF? Drag any of the vertices A or B to dynamically move and change the figure to check your observation.
