Reflections on 150 commemorations

[Eva Elisabeth]

I agree, it would be a combination and depend on the very matter/incident in detail. Overall I think he would be proud that his efforts and dedication for the county and his difficult task (no other president had to lead through a civil war) are still acknowledged that much. And that his achievements in life belied his father's opposition to his desire to study. I am not sure he would be delighted about some of the misquotations that "abuse" his name, but to many incongruencies/oddities he would probably say: "I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice...I am used to it."
