New Lincoln/Illinois ad
I think it is really cute - but I miss the MiniAbe ads...

That's how I discovered Abe as a boy. When I was seven I got to see the Volk life mask and hand molds at U of I. I was at first freaked out by Lincoln because of the Statue at the Lincoln Memorial but now have a great admiration with the man.

What a great ad! Brought back memories of my grandmother and my mother making sure that they instilled the love of history in me. I wish I had the ability to explore Abe's roots in Illinois now.

I do like the look on the young boy's face when he sees his grandfather? talking with Abraham Lincoln

So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?

That I thought was really cute as well - you can really see the "WHOA"

Memories that a young boy might never forget. I especially like when they touched Lincoln's nose- something we've all done who have been there.

Hi Bill. I can assure you that Herrick Middle School did its share. We used to arrive there with 240 8th graders (annual 8th grade Springfield trip), and they all did it.
