Its been a unanimous call amongst the siblings that Caroline by far was the most photogenic child. I was the sixth child and by then, nobody cared anymore about how my hair looked.
So I was rummaging through our family shed that has been collecting keepsakes and odds and ends of our stuff since our move from Texas to Utah. Along with this picture that Dad had taken for some East Texas Tourism advertising, I found another gem of my sister Caroline’s childhood.
I found a yellowed, dotted and lined piece of paper that you first use in elementary school to keep your lines straight and Caroline had written:
Abraham Lincoln was a happy man.
Abraham Lincoln was shot.
The End.
By Caroline Conley
1982
And there we have it. Abe’s bio in a nutshell. Thanks Caroline. I’m sure Mom kept that around purely for our enjoyment later. And it worked!
Happy Birthday Sis!
