THE Dinty Moore, of canned beef stew fame? Uh-huh. Cool.

Btw, I enjoyed very much the history lesson, thank you. I have lurked through much of the archives. Well, much for me, since I have no idea what percentage of what's available I've covered. I did go through and from the beginning of the IotD thread. Some very cool pics, and some very interesting discussions. I did get a sense of history briefly coming to life, in the same way that it did when we rode on "America Sings" in Disneyland. As the dioramas scrolled by and the AudioAnimatronic Abraham Lincoln stood up and gave his speech, I felt the people in the cellar (and ol' Abe) were speaking in the room, if not directly at me.

I don't know how accurately this represents the actual history of the time, but I have less reason to distrust this account than I do of many news accounts of "great events" of the day. Very real, personal.

I quite enjoyed it, UT, thanks. I expect to enjoy more in the future.
