I think it was Rev. William Jones, a Confederate Chaplain, who said of Lee, "He took everyone seriously, except himself."

Lee certainly knew he was but a man and acknowledged it often.

Another reason that he was admired by so many.

Laurie,

I am not even sure that Joe is a Yankee anymore; but if he still is, he is one of the best.

Good work.
