I’m sad to hear of Barbara Walters passing. I had the pleasure of working on 20/20 with Barbara Walters and John Stossel as an intern, production associate and later an intern supervisor at ABC News. Barbara was a true legend and pioneer in television journalism. My thoughts go out to my friends, fellow colleagues and family at ABC. She will be missed. 💔🙏 #BarbaraWalters #ABCNews #RestInPeace (at ABC News HQ) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm1Uw2Nux6E/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

On this day, 4/14/1865, John Wilkes Booth shot Abraham Lincoln in Ford’s Theatre in Washington, DC. I had the chance to visit this historic building once alone and once with my wife, as we were teaching in a nearby suburb. The theatre still stands to this day and is now in use as a theatre. After Lincoln’s assassination the building became run down. It wasn’t until recently they reconstructed the inside to look like it did in 1865. John Wilkes Booth was an actor himself and escaped out the back door (where I’m pointing). Lincoln breathed his last breath the next morning, 4/15/1865 at 7:22am. He is one of my fave, if not favorite presidents of all time. He was sincere, compassionate, cared about others, was visionary and a funny guy. What was not to like about Honest Abe? @melissar_dance loves him. ❤️Am I right, babe? 😂 (at Ford's Theatre National Historic Site) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcVoVuSJQH8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
