If you could have a meal with anyone from history or present day, who would you eat with and why?
Abe Lincoln Statue in front of Stevens, just to keep it friendly in the neighborhood. I don’t believe that there should be any competition between us, although I am obviously the better statue. I mean Abe is a classic, and this is the place of the Gettysburg Address, but did he command the allied forces on D-Day at Normandy? Did he create NASA?
If you had unlimited money, what would you do and why?
I would move myself closer to Lincoln. I am not sure anyone can really see me down here. He may have a bit of an unfair advantage. But hey, this is not a competition. I am an admirable statue.
What is one thing you hope to achieve while at Gettysburg?
Become the new statue everyone takes pictures with.
