Springfield Tour

[Gene C]

It has been a real pleasure to visit the Lincoln sites with this group. The wives have been great about it all. I have learned some great stories about Bill and Rob. Today all of seven off us piled into the mini van and visited New Salem, visited Ann Rutledge grave site then Lincoln's tomb and other persons of interest graves, like Herndon, Benjamin Thomas and others. Then a much anticipated trip to Prarie Archives book store where I got to see Rob and Bill in action. The black Friday shoppers at Walmart could learn a thing or two from them. Truly an amazing experience.
