	The 16th President of the United States Abraham Lincoln arrived at Monroe High School to meet with a group of Students. Student Teacher Rebecca Sharp had arranged for the History and Literature classes to meet for the program, "How I Got To My Gettysburg Address". A Question and Answer session followed. Many Great Questions were asked by these students

	The Second Program started about 9:15 and lasted about an hour and a half. This program was "A News Conference With the 16th President". Again the students had Good Questions to ask.

	Feb. 12 1999 was spent visiting with the students in two assemblies and then Lunch with the Teachers and Students. What a great time we had. This Lincoln School was built in 1927 and this year has a student body of 320 students. A fine staff and well prepared students made this day one to remember

	A special treat this day was to be interviewed by students on kids radio. One of the questions asked during the interview was, "What was special about my hat?" the answer, "A few years ago I was in need of a new hat, so I asked on of my friends to get me a new one. A few days latter he showed up with the hat I am wearing. When I looked inside the hat. I realized the hat was made by Wm. L. Mills of Adrian, Michigan. I latter found out that the company went out of business about 1900. So, the hat is over 100 years old"
