Joe has gathered lots of info on these special people. Since my wife is not overly interested in cemeteries, she may be taking the credit cards on her own special tour of the retail establishments in the area.

The nearby town of Petersburg, where many of the cemeteries are located, is an interesting place in itself. It's full of history. For many years, it used to be a stop over spot during the winter months for a traveling circus. Also lots of nice looking Victorian homes. All this and more.....

Hi Gene.

Looking forward to catching up with you and Joe in a couple of weeks.

I encourage anyone else who might be interested to come along and join us. I had a great time last year, and its always fun to get together and meet others who love learning about Mr. Lincoln and his life and times.
