IN 1853 ABRAHAM LINCOLN CHRISTENED THE TOWN WITH THE JUICE OF A WATERMELON. THEN I WENT TO THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AND AFTER GRADUATING WENT TO A SUBURB NORTH OF CHICAGO AND TAUGHT BIOLOGY FOR THREE YEARS. I ALSO PLAYED A LOT OF BASKETBALL THERE. I WENT TO GRADUATE SCHOOL OBTAINING A MASTERS IN BIOLOGY BUT I NEVER USED IT AS I WAS IN SALES THE REST OF MY LIFE. ONE SALES JOB WHICH I ENJOYED WAS SELLING CREMATORIES ALL OVER NORTH AMERICA AND I WAS ON PROBABLY 1,500-1,600 FLIGHTS. AFTER MY DIVORCE I MET A LOVELY WOMAN NAMED JUDI . WE HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 36 YEARS. BETWEEN US WE HAVE SIX CHILDREN AND 9 GRANDCHILDREN. WE ENJOY RETIREMENT AND HAVE TRAVELLED QUITE A BIT AND WE HAVE BEEN TO EUROPE SEVERAL TIMES. I ENJOY PAINTING IN ACRYLICS AND READING HISTORICAL BOOKS, I HAVE BEEN GIVING TALKS ON ABRAHAM LINCOLN FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND HAVE OVER 300 BOOKS ON LINCOLN. I’M A HAPPY CAMPER!показать меньше
