You win two free tickets to Fred Smith's Wisconsin Concrete Park.

He looks like Abe. I wonder if he was trying to look like him?

I think you are right, Bill. I checked Lloyd Ostendorf's book to see if he included a date for that image, but he does not.

What famous comedian of a long-ago era had been described as a "deadpan Abraham Lincoln?"

Buster Keaton?

Rob, you're right on the money!
Now see if you know this one-although it is not Lincoln related. What famous record album cover was Keaton pictured on?

Well, I'll just say that the album has a song by the one-and-only Billy Shears!

Yes, Jim! As far as I'm concerned-the greatest record of the rock era. I'm surprised with the many persons depicted on the album cover that Lincoln isn't included.

Bill, I've wondered about that myself. My understanding is that each band member could choose a few of the folks they considered most important to them. The record company vetoed at least two of their picks, but I guess Lincoln wasn't on these folks' radar.

Funny, though, considering they had a Bowery Boy and Tom Mix!

Notice that I'm still not providing the answer!!!

Ah, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. I had forgotten about that cover.

And I believe it s the only photograph of Lincoln wearing glasses?

Fill in the blank:

When Mary Lincoln was traveling in Europe she wrote a friend:

"It does appear to me, that ____________ has spoiled me for seeing any other place in Europe."
