U.S. Grant saved George Pickett's neck

Thanks, Rob. I knew about the problems that John Simon endured and that John Marszalek had replaced him with the Papers. I forgot that Marszalek is with Mississippi State.

I first met John Simon when I was asked to join the board of advisers of The Lincoln Forum when it was founded. He was always fun to be with, witty and sage at the same time. His talks were great. John Marszalek is also with the Lincoln Forum and a good man.

As for Frank Williams, he says what he thinks and pulls no punches. That's how he went as high as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of Rhode Island.
