[SEL] Help Needed

[Judge Tommy Turner]

Hey Curt, License plates don't tell the whole story!!  Lincoln was born 
in KY and spent the first 8 years of his life here.  His wife was a 
Kentuckian, his 3 law partners were all Kentuckians, his best friend was 
a Kentuckian and so on.  Lincoln once said "I too am a Kentuckian" and 
regarding Kentucky and the Civil War "I hope to have God on my side, but 
I must have Kentucky".  During Lincoln's whole life, Kentucky played a 
role.  Yes, the Illinois license plate says "Land of Lincoln".  But, he 
certainly belongs to more than just Illinois. Hey, don't worry, there 
won't be another civil war over it, maybe just a skirmish or two!

Tommy Turner
Magnolia, KY
