Gettysburg: 150 years ago: November 19, 1863

    Yesterday marked the 150th Anniversary of Lincoln's brief address in Pennsylvania at the dedication of the battlefield cemetery.  Numerous media outlets took the time to broadcast the speech, often rendered by noted actors.  In one case, the late Gregory Peck gave an impressive reading of the revered words.
     At the site, locals marked the occasion with appropriate events, including music, reenactments of participants, and a reading of the address.
