"We all will have to get together sometime"
200th celebration of Lincoln's birth coming up this year. You have not seen the Presidential museum yet have you. There will be a dedication of the new building for the Daughters of Union Veterans coming up. Bob and I will be at that. Then there is the annual observation of the death of Lincoln coming in April. BOb and I will be at that also. As they say, Pick your poison. When can we expect you? Have you ever been to New Salem? Through the GAR Museum? Been to the Illinois National Guard Military Museum? Visited the Regimental flags and the National Colors of the Illinois Units in the late unpleasantness? Been through Lincoln's home? BY the way, according to Herman Hofferkamp(The keeper of the Lincoln Home in the late 1800's) my Granpa Alex came by the Lincoln Home almost every day after the war to stop and visit. I think what the deal was, was that Mr. Hofferkamp, being the good German that he was, was probably a pretty good beer maker and Grandpa Alex, being the good Irishman that he was, was probably a good beer drinker, so you might say, they were made for each other. :)
