Presidential statues are an inconsistent lot much like the chief executives. They show up in the unlikeliest places like the Lincoln statue above in Fort Lincoln Cemetery on the edge of town.
I created a list, checked it twice for those naughty and nice. But, I’ll bet you probably know of one I’ve missed. Let me know at MonumentalThoughts@gmail.com.
