Abraham Lincoln: "Big enough to be inconsistent."

[LincolnMan]

It is certainly great that you have joined the Forum. Welcome! Actually, as you probably know, Lincoln was also critical of his own looks. I will agree with you that he was "odd-looking" for sure. I hope that Lincoln looked better than as portrayed by the great Hal Holbrook in Sandburg's Lincoln-his appearance was downright scary.

I see you have written about Elton John. I met him once in a very personal way. I have a terminally ill daughter who requested through the Make-A-Wish Foundation to meet him. The wish was granted. My daughter and my wife-and myself- met with him. He was most charming and gracious. Long-time fan of his music. Again, welcome!
