********

From a magazine "HIGHLIGHTS FOR CHILDREN, February 1995 - an article by Candace Fleming P.32 & 33 "For Vinnie Ream, Abe Lincoln Was A Model President". The article is about a young girl, aged 16, who sculpted a bust of President Abraham Lincoln. In fact she was the last person to do so. Her sculpture stands in the Capitol's Great Rotunda. Why is this story in the Newsletter? Because it was Congressman JAMES ROLLINS of Missouri who introduced her to President Lincoln because Vinnie had begged him to so she could sculpt his face.

Ed.Note: This ROLLINS Congressman comes from a famous Missouri family and we will do an article about them soon.
