The death of Tad Lincoln

[L Verge]

I think the term means that Tad would look for every opportunity to tag along with people to keep active. I see him as a fun-loving kid with few chores to keep him occupied and lots of things around him to keep him interested.

Roger - Thanks for reminding me where I had recently read about Sweeney and Gumpert. I knew those names were ones I had run across recently, but could not remember where.
