Reminder

[David Lockmiller]

The photo in which Marilyn is holding Abraham Lincoln's picture was taken in Los Angeles in 1954 by photographer Milton H. Greene.

Roger, as usual, you are absolutely correct about your Lincoln historical facts. I had ASSUMED that the photograph at the first website I visited with the Marilyn Monroe and Bement, Illinois story would have a photograph of her from that day. I grew up in Decatur, Illinois which is not too far from Bement; I was eight at the time. And, we do not have many palm trees in Illinois because of the long and cold winters there. The background of the photo shows a number of palm trees.

But I am glad that Eva Elisabeth liked the newspaper story. I thought that it was very well written. It was much better written than the story I found on the same subject in my hometown newspaper, the Decatur Herald-Review.
