Perhaps someday I will get to meet Dr. Davis as well.Kathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13901412140528157842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401610458013176675.post-57476675400276020002009-03-23T15:51:00.000-07:002009-03-23T15:51:00.000-07:00Wow! Tracing the history of popular music, U.S. political history, and African-American history is fascinating. Have you seen the book "One Nation Under a Groove: rap Music and Its Roots" by James Haskins? It is easy to read and informative.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work!<BR/>Debbe Rigney-HaysDebrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07270577718177902566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401610458013176675.post-51234477083514203872008-12-15T13:36:00.000-08:002008-12-15T13:36:00.000-08:00Hi!

Boy, do I know what you mean! It's certainly not a bad thing, though. I loved Lincoln from the time I first heard of him as a very small child. When I lived in Galesburg, I was so proud of his connection to our community. <BR/><BR/>In school and adult life, nearly every project, paper or speech I did that could have a Lincoln connection had one. Through the years - lots of them - I've inspired friends, customers, coworkers and fellow Toastmasters to learn more about Lincoln and even become Lincoln buffs themselves. <BR/><BR/>I am so excited about your seminar. May your students have this same pride in Lincoln and his Galesburg connection and may they inspire it in others. <BR/><BR/>Keep the legacy alive - 24/7/365!lincolnbuff2http://www.blogger.com/profile/07858866489224167041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401610458013176675.post-33095344460061677922008-07-01T08:56:00.000-07:002008-07-01T08:56:00.000-07:00I vote for Abe as someone who had a great fondness for Anne Rutledge.

He had so much private grief yet he remained a steady force for the Union.Lincoln1http://www.blogger.com/profile/15438634604026812003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1401610458013176675.post-41012648294894251712008-06-17T17:13:00.000-07:002008-06-17T17:13:00.000-07:00I think people are starting to avoid me because they know I'm 24/7<BR/> talking Lincoln!!
