Correct, Gene!

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?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 02-03-2013
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.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 02-05-2013
What famous comedian of a long-ago era had been described as a "deadpan Abraham Lincoln?"
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 02-05-2013
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?

May any of us answer that?!??!

Won't bother me, Jim. I have no earthly idea.

Well, I'll just say that the album has a song by the one-and-only Billy Shears!
--Jim
RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 02-05-2013
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.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Jim Page - 02-05-2013
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!!!

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 02-05-2013
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."
