Kudos, Joe - you are simply a professional in this field....
More info on all 25 "champions of humanity" here - I found "Remember Them" such a great project that I just had to use it:

To borrow a winged phrase - this reminds me of a song:
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_R7BYSgz8xY

"Thy hand, Belinda, darkness shades me,
On thy bosom let me rest,
More I would, but Death invades me;
Death is now a welcome guest.

When I am laid, am laid in earth...Remember me, remember me..."

I wonder if Abraham Lincoln had ever heard the aria or even seen the opera (composed by Purcell in 1688)...in any case he missed Jessye Norman's magic voice!!!
