Bill, Fred is a member here. I will try to coax him into posting more often.

RE: Abraham Lincoln sightings
Our camp really enjoyed his presentation. I would say 90% of his speech was filled with direct quotes from Lincoln. I don't know how far his bookings take him, but I would highly recommend him.

RE: Abraham Lincoln sightings
The way they have shot (no pun intended) Lincoln walking through the mists in that ad, I'm wondering if it's a play on Vampire Hunter?

OK, this sighting may not count for much, but I was watching the old western, 'The Rifleman' yesterday.
Lucas went into a barber shop, and hanging on the wall was a painting of Lincoln.

In episode #118 Lucas's neighbor thought he was Abe.

RE: Abraham Lincoln sightings
I love watching the old Rifleman series. I don't remember seeing the Lincoln painting in the barber shop. Nice pictures Roger from that episode. I don't remember that one either. I wonder what the plot line was. Who was the fellow-why did he think he was Lincoln?

RE: Abraham Lincoln sightings
Bill, on the Rifleman website it says, "Lucas’s neighbor has suffered a mental shock during the Civil War and as a result believes he is Abraham Lincoln."

RE: Abraham Lincoln sightings
I should have guessed there was a web site. I'll check it out. Good morning Roger!

RE: Abraham Lincoln sightings
I remember that episode well Roger. I think I have it on an old VHS tape somewhere!
BTW, in the episode I saw the other day, Don Grady [My 3 Sons] played the barber's son
And in the end credits the year given was 1959.

RE: Abraham Lincoln sightings
Watched the "ultimate" Lincoln sighting in films last night-Hitchcock's North by Northwest. Of course, I'm referring to the climatic final scene on Mt. Rushmore. By the way, for those familiar with the movie, that scene is the weakest for me. I just don't find it plausible that they could be scaling down the faces of Mt. Rushmore like they did. Nevertheless, the movie is one of the masterpieces of film-making and a favorite of mine.

RE: Abraham Lincoln sightings
Cary Grant getting chased around the cornfield by the crop duster is a great scene though!

RE: Abraham Lincoln sightings
One of the best scenes in movie history as far of I'm concerned!

Even though it was "chroma-keyed"--I wish I had never been told that by some guru on TCM!
