35. Mr. Lincoln. As I remember, by the way name is Dan Rutherford. But as I was saying, I Dan Rutherford come from a long line of Rutherford’s. On the door to my office it even says Dan Rutherford. Right above where it says Dan Rutherford it says treasurer. When I get my cell phone bill, right there on the paper, black print on white paper it says, Dan Rutherford. At any rate. Nice to talk with you Mr. Lincoln, Ole Abe, The great Emancipator….
