[QUOTE=rowrrbazzle] This is from a 1956 episode of the game show “I’ve Got A Secret”. The guest was present when a President was assassinated. President LINCOLN. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EHVruM8y3Q](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EHVruM8y3Q) (this starts with a cigarette commercial.) Also note the guest almost didn’t do the show due to a small accident. We would have lost this historical moment. [/QUOTE] As someone pointed out in the comments, this fellow shared the earth with American Revolutionary war veterans and future survivors of 9/11. Theoretically, he could have shaken the hands of individuals who had shaken hands with George Washington and (other) individuals who would shake the hand of George Bush. ---

For your consideration: [http://youtube.com/watch?v=KCtZz0Pn120](http://youtube.com/watch?v=KCtZz0Pn120) This is a 20-week sonogram of a baby boy; the accompanying music is Stephen C. Chapman’s _Fingerprints of God_. I love this for two reasons: 1st, my 4th grandchild is due the end of June (don’t know whether it’s a girl or boy, yet, though), and 2nd, I’ve been a big fan of S. Chapman since the mid '90s. (The song always reminds me of my older daughter, mom of g’kids 1-3.) Everytime I watch this, I’m blown away. Love, Phil ---
