New Lincoln statue in Springfield

[Joe Di Cola]

We had that statue of Lincoln and "Everyman" (although he looks like Perry Como!) outside of the Miami County Courthouse in Troy, OH for 18 months. It was there both before and after the visit of the Lincoln Funeral Train in 2015. Gene and Joy Cook came over from Kentucky and spent a few days with me to see the funeral train and statue. We also toured the Museum of the United States Airforce at Wright-Patterson AFB, Carillon Park which includes the Wright Flyer 3--the first practical aircraft, and had several fine-dining experiences at restaurants and at my home. It was a great time, especially sharing it with Gene and Joy!
