Shake Hands With Lincoln

[HerbS]

When I was teaching "Rochester and The Civil War" a man in his 90's came up to me and shook my hand.He said that when he was in elementary school the Superintendant of schools would come to each school and shake hands with every student the first week of school.He told the students that he was a Col.in the Civil War.He shook hands with Lincoln.Thus,you have now shaken hands with a man who shook hands with Lincoln!So,I can proudly say that I shook hands with a man,who shook hands with a man that shook hands with Lincoln!For me that was a "boost"and Thus,I would shake the hands of everyone of my students on the first day of school.Then I would tell them the STORY and keep passing it on!
