Reminds me of that oft-asked question. If you could meet any one person in history, who would it be? Of course, Jesus Christ always comes in first place. George Washington always comes in second place.I don’t find it especially endearing. I do often dream about being in his presence back in the 1700s. How incredible that would be! To see him walking and talking. To know what he really looked like and how he sounded. His stature. The intracasies that you can only feel by being there. Portraits, while the best they could do then, just doesn’t cut it. I often think those so few photos of Abraham Lincoln are among the coolest photos ever. It makes him real. As if we are allowed to believe he really existed without having to use our faith or imaginations.
I understand the criticisms of that made up photo. But there has been so much bullpuckey stuff made up about George Washington that this phony photo seems inconsequential.
