RE: Extra Credit Questions
When the Oldroyds were living in the Lincoln Home, they invited other people to move in, too. One author facetiously wrote, "One might have also accused Oldroyd of operating a "boardinghouse."

Who was this author?

A secretary of state said the following to the president he was serving under-that he was:

"one of the men who most thoroughly understood and appreciate Lincoln."

Who were the two individuals?

Would that be Paul Angle, Roger?

Joe, that is certainly a good guess, but it was not him.

Hi Joe: Mr. Hay said it to President Roosevelt. Roosevelt kept Hay on in the post that he was serving under McKinley.

Bill,

I was thinking about reading the new bio of Hay that was just released, but have only read one review of it. It was well-reviewed. Have you seen or read it?
