Abraham Lincoln lands in Mount Vernon...
For the last 14 months, I have been scurrying around behind my crazy boss planning for an 8 1/2 foot statue of our 16th President to be placed here in Mt. Vernon. Last Thursday the 18th the crazy planning finally paid off with a great tribute to a terrific President. The Illinois Supreme Court was in town to hear Oral Arguments (which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be able to see) at the Fifth Appellate Courthouse. This was the first time since 1897 that they have been in town to hear a case. Lincoln, as a lawyer, has been a long awaited treasure for our city and I am proud to say that I am a part of history that was made. Enjoy the pics!
