| "What interested me most was the student
reaction as you talked about how President Lincoln felt about personal
responsibility and ethics. It seemed as if they were hanging
on each word and seriously considering it. Role models are
so very important and you made President Lincoln one that every person in
the gym could identify with." - James M. Hughes, Principal,
