Next time you see Abe, give him my regards.

I will. He’s flipping burgers now at the downtown McDonalds. We reminisce a lot about the war, but he really loves the quiet life - and old westerns.

My Dad laid down in Abe’s death bed. It was during WW2 when Dad (Navy) was visiting the Capitol. They had it upstairs in the rotunda, I recall. Jumped the barrier and laid down for a moment. Dad was a great guy but a bit of a lib. That happens when you have 10 other siblings and you were born in the Great Depression. They didn’t milk it.
