A Magnificent Find - Welcome Dr. Ron Rietveld

[RJNorton]

I am so honored to announce that Dr. Ron Rietveld has just joined our new forum. Quoting from ALO, Dr. Rietveld has "met the last surviving person to see Lincoln's body, talked with a man who knew Lincoln as a child, corresponded with author Carl Sandburg, and visited the grave of William Johnson, who was Lincoln's White House valet."

However, when I think of Dr. Rietveld, I first think of the teenage boy who in 1952 discovered the only photograph of Abraham Lincoln in death. The whole story can be found here. More of Dr. Rietveld's memories can be found here.
