Two special programs are planned.
The Illinois Interest Group (9:30-11:30 a.m. in the Higgins Room) will have a presentation on the ³Thoughts and Antics of Abe Lincoln² -- Abe liked to tease, to write doggerel, to pull tricks to amuse his friends, and more.
We¹ll talk about a number of such events, and how they made Abe the man he was.
The discussion leader will be Kristy Gravlin of Illinois, and with Lincoln heritage.
All are welcome to join the group.
The Monthly Meeting of GFO (2:00-3:30 p.m. in the Library Room) The topic will be ³The Life of Abraham Lincoln² -- A completely different program about the life history of the 16th president, this is a ³time line² approach with as many lesser known events as could be found.
Even if you know Lincoln pretty well, you are likely to learn new things about him.
The discussion leader will be Duane Funk who researches family in Illinois.
Again, all are welcome to join the group.
If you know someone who would be interested in hearing about Lincoln¹s life, bring them along...
even if they are not members, and/or genealogists.
Hoping to see you there!
Kristy and Duane
