After retiring as a History teacher, Henry volunteered as a Civil War tour guide to help prevent Alzheimer’s. He’d been showing Bennett Farm to a pack of fifth graders, when Holly Hill hospital called. A janitor had left out the bleach. His father had pilfered vinegar from the cafeteria. Driving along I-40, Henry thought of John Fredrick Parker, Lincoln’s bodyguard, and he wished he hadn’t waited till today to visit.
