2011--The Day The Spirit Of The Lincoln Way Died--2011
aka
"The Day Mr. Lincoln Got Kicked Out Of Fort Lincoln"
on
"The Day He Died"

April 15, 2011

Dear Friends, Greetings.. Recently received.. "Notice" The Spirit Of The Lincoln Way Liberty Truck seen here in.. "The 2005" and.. "2009 Inaugural Parades" is being "Essentially" "Kicked Out" of.. "Fort Lincoln Cemetery" where "It Has Been" in "Sanctuary" for "The Last 5 Years" on "April 15th" which is "Coincidently" "The Day Mr. Lincoln Died!!" This.. "In Spite Of The Fact" there are "Multiple" "Historic" "Lincoln" and "Lincoln Highway" "Connections" i.e. President Lincoln used to visit his generals there and "Quench His Thirst" from "The Spring House" under.. The Lincoln Oak Tree. Fort Lincoln is on.. "The Lincoln Highway Feeder" which.. "Went Though" "Washington and "Down" Pennsylvania Ave starting in 1915. Then.. There's.. Horace Peaslee who "Designed" Fort Lincoln at.. "The Same Time" he did.. "The Zero Milestone" aka "The Starting Point" for.. "The 1919 Army Convoy!!" And then.. There's "The Coup De Gras" Ulric Stonewall Jackson Dunbar "The Sculptor" of.. "The Spirit of the Lincoln Way" and.. "Namesake" of..

"The Spirit Of The Lincoln Way" "Liberty Truck"
(2005 Inaugrual Parade) is.. "Buried" in "Fort Lincoln!!" However, "In Spite" of "All This" and "A Last Minute" "Appeal" to.. Thomas Crawford President & CEO of Stewart Enterprises http://www.stewartenterprises.com/ "Who Owns" Fort Lincoln "The Order" to..

"Vacate"
I’m sorry, Craig. I’ve enjoyed the story, but it’s
time to move the truck. It is a space issue and
also a liability issue. Mr. Crawford has
made his decision. "See Below"
for
"The Complete Story!!" Accordingly, The Spirit Of The Lincoln Way is now "Essentially" "Homeless" To that end, Mr. Lincoln in the form of..

"A Lock Of His Hair" and.. The Spirit of the Lincoln Way will "Leave" "The Front Gates" of Fort Lincoln for "The Last Time" at 7:22 AM (The Exact Time He Died) Friday April 15. So..

"Get Up Early"
and "Come On Out" to "Meet Mr. Lincoln" and "Help" "Find A New Home" for "The Spirit Of The Lincoln Way" If you have any questions feel fee to call any time Until then.. Warmest Regards, Craig Harmon, Director 202-536-5329 www.lincoln-highway-museum.org

Craig, Like I said, it’s a great story, but I’m not interested in printing 39 pages to add to the 58 I have already printed. I just need a picture of the truck today at Fort Lincoln. Thanks.

Hi Craig. I have discussed your situation with Mr. Crawford. While he is very impressed with your civic mindedness, he has to agree with Jim Welch. The fire truck should not be on our property as it creates a liability for us. He is impressed with our employees who have allowed you to keep it there for so long, but it needs to be moved off of our property. Thanks.
