What Will You Do For Lincoln's Day ?

[maharba]

In old buildings, behind walls, various junk sales, it always surprises me that a man can still find the old Lincoln collections folks had. And more sophisticated, technological folk do razz me here for my old tyme habits. Looking through old scrapbooks, letters, old Civil War rosters, magazine clippings. But you get a flavor for what Lincoln Day used to mean --the touching recitations by schoolchildren of speeches, original poems, and yes even PRAYERS offered to the future of America. The old newspaper clippings tell me of a time when Lincoln Breakfasts were held and folks actually sang hymns and prayed.
As 'Presidents Day Holiday' is soon to arrive, public schools will merely blank out a convenient day from the calendar. But what will YOU do for Lincoln Day, and your community will they remember?
