26. Honest Abe. Not even close.

Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 03:18 PM by kestrel91316

BTW, did I mention I own a dining table that was sat at for years by a man who, when he was young, worked in Abe's Springfield office, and whose father was one of Abe's best friends? The man's daughter, who he lived with when old, was my grandfather's employer for several years in NE. And when she died he got the table, which passed eventually to me.

True story, and totally OT.

This is one of my favorite family history tales. The famous table, lol.
