Roland: Steve, I'm now chatting with t-shirt vendor Vern LeBeau. Sir, let's talk heritage. Man: Happy to, young fellah! Roland: What're we commemorating here? Slavery? Rebellion? 650,000 dead? Andersonville? Lincoln's murder? Man: Um... hard to say. Roland: Really? Come now, Vern - you folks have had 150 years to think it over. Man: Okay. Okay. Andersonville. Roland: He's going with the death camp, Steve! Man: We won that one, right? I think I have the shirt. We're out of Lincoln.

She lived across the street from my grandmother and taught for decades at the same school my grandmother taught at, which is why she was more like an aunt than just a casual acquaintance.
