    Hi Keith

    Great.

    Apparently during the Civil War president Lincoln asked Custer's wife if she was afraid for him reading about all his exploits in various battles.
    Libbie replied that every day that she opened a paper she wanted to read that her husband was leading every charge.
    To which Lincoln replied
    Then Madam you will be reading that you are a widow


    Regards
