Tribute

[RJNorton]

Thank you for posting this, Mike. It reminded me of my grade school years growing up in Illinois. The teachers at Holmes School in Oak Park all emphasized Lincoln's pre-Presidential years. My third or fourth grade teacher loved to talk about Ann Rutledge. As I recall, I do not think I had a teacher who discussed/taught his Presidency until high school. Personally, I find the early years just as interesting, if not more so, than his Presidential years.
