CHEYENNE - Abraham Lincoln and his wife Mary Todd Lincoln were honored at the Wyoming Capitol in honor of President Lincoln's 200th birthday.
The Lincolns were portrayed Thursday by John Voehl and his wife, Pamela.
Voehl joked to a large audience that he didn't "feel a day over 189." Voehl gave the Gettysburg Address and Gov. Dave Freudenthal told children in the crowd they should look at Lincoln as a role model.
Freudenthal says people often pretend that Lincoln was superhuman, but in truth he was a human being with remarkable gifts developed through hard work and focus.
