If Young Abe Lincoln Had Lived Today....

[RJNorton]

Yes, very true, Bill. In fact he once helped a girl who was having trouble with the word "defied." In a spelling bee Katy Roby began spelling the word...d-e-f and then was stuck on the next letter. Was it an "i" or a "y?" Lincoln was standing nearby and pointed to his eye when the teacher (Andrew Crawford, I think) was not looking. Katy took the hint, said "i" and completed the word correctly.
