Hudson Reporter The Hard, but Loving Work of Uniting America Dear Editor: My love for Lincoln goes beyond the fact that I was born on his birthday; though that certainly did help. My childhood viewings of Henry Fonda in “Young Mr. Lincoln” (1940) were, for me, like sacred civic encounters. Mini lessons in the American spirit at its best. I wish Joe Biden well in his effort to unite America. With his unique combination of qualities, in particular empathy, experience, and resoluteness, I believe he’s the “right man at the right time” for this herculean task. His hopeful, optimistic spirit won’t hurt. Don’t believe me? Pop into Bennie Tudino’s Pizza some time (for a big delicious slice) and check out the wonderful photo of smiling uncle Joe: beaming happiness.
