Awesome story. Its interesting to think that we are really not as far removed from the civil war as we may think.

Now that's the kind of story I like to see posted on these boards! Has anyone here shaken Joe Simon's hand? If so I hope you haven't washed it! There might be some of Abe's DNA on there!

I was lucky enough to have met and shaken Mr Simon's hand and haven't washed it since.That was in the 90's sort of dirty,but who cares.

I've been meaning to shake your hand for some time now Jack.

So ... you shook the hand that shook the hand that shook the hand of Lincoln. That's only two hands and around a hundred and forty years or so between you and Abe Lincoln.

I met Joe and had him sign my Brother Power the Geek comic! Still have it. Wonder whom the Geek was modeled after?
