I see that visitors to Springfield, Illinois, this summer will be seeing three foot high stovepipe hats all over the place. The fiberglass creations will be decorated by artists. Sort of like a Chicago "Cows on Parade" only for hats.
What will happen when the rappers and hoppers stop wearing those funny-looking straight-bill baseball hats and adopt the Lincoln Look?
ALSO, I see where a collection of some 10,000 stamps bearing Lincoln's likeness are being put up at auction in New York City today.
It was put together by Lincoln admirer William J. Ainsworth of Roswell, Georgia who says it is time to pass it on and has an estimate worth of $2 million.
Some of the stamps date back to the 1860s and all are from the US are former possessions.
