Just back from doing a couple of presentations at the Virginia Society of
Technology Educators conference going on in Arlington til tomorrow. As
always, my jaws were flapping, and I had a chat with the concierge of the
hotel while my dinner host was checking for decent restaurants in walking
distance, and learned he had come here from Liberia. Well, of course, I
told him that my recent research for Black History had led to Joseph
Jenkins Roberts, and his eyes lit up, and he went on a long chatter about
the difference between schools in the US and Liberia.

Jeff, why not do the research and report back when there's a DNA test to
back up the theory? Should it prove to be true, it would an another feather
to Lincoln's bonnet - he surmounted the circumstances of his birth and rose
to greatness.
