"Abraham Lincoln Through the Eyes of Political Cartoons" Dr. Stephen Siciliano, Presenter. If you think Presidents Trump and Obama have been roughly handled by today’s press, you will be amazed by the treatment of the man whom we now see as one of our greatest presidents. The presenter, Dr. Stephen Siciliano, is a historian, a Lincoln scholar, and V.P. of Educational Services for NMC. Lincoln was president through very difficult years during which Old Mission Peninsula men and women served, and some died to preserve the union of these United States. Also, the deeds to many homestead farms on OMP were signed by Lincoln. THE MEMORIAL TREE PROJECT CONTINUES The northern end of Old Mission Peninsula on Center Road was once lined with magnificent old maple trees some over 100 years until age, salt and disease took them down. The Memorial Tree Project started in September 1999 under the direction of Rebecca and Leo Nothstine. It has continued since with over 650 trees planted and nourished. Many are memorial trees dedicated to specific individuals If you noticed new trees on Center Road, They are the result of hard work May 4th by some civic-minded volunteers. Masks and social distancing noted! Photos contributed by Brian Brooks
