The uniqueness of Lincoln's beard

[L Verge]

Karen is doing some great work in the Archives and is very enthusiastic about sharing it. I met her through the Lincoln Group of D.C. shortly before my mobility issues stopped me from attending meetings. I hope we'll hear a lot from Karen over the course of time.

The topic of facial hair on our Presidents made me think that I might have missed John Quincy Adams. For some reason, I thought the dour photograph that one usually sees of him had sideburns that would qualify. I looked him up, and I think they put him in the hairy category - not to the extent of Gen. Burnside, but pretty good.
