I remember as a boy going to the world’s fair (NY) and seeing the Disney robot of Lincoln; it may seem crude by modern standards but it was quite impressive then; one of my aunt’s refused to believe it was a robot and insisted it was just an actor pretending to be one. Anyway, I look forward to your telling us, “the rest of the story.”
Oh boy, you are really good at creating suspense…
Good, that’s what I was going for…

That Disney animatronic robot of Lincoln at Disney World is still amazing to me. One of my fondest memories. More on the photos shortly.
