On a recent trip to Washington DC we visited Oak Hill Cemetery and the Carroll Family Mausoleum. This vault served as the temporary resting place of Abe Lincoln's son Willie. Located in a precarious corner section of the cemetery, it is an eerie and sad experience.

#BOTD 12/13 in 1925 is Dick Van Dyke who is 98 years young. An obscure fun fact about Van Dyke is that he gave the eulogy for Stan Laurel. The movie "The Comic" made in 1969 did not do well at the box office, but we believe that this film deserves a 2nd look.
