February 16th,1861 Abraham Lincoln stops his train at Westfield on his way to Washington to thank 11-year old Grace Bedell in person for her advice to grow a beard to gain more votes. How do you feel about beards? Should they be trimmed neatly or left to grow out naturally? If you were seeking a new person in your life, would the beard be a deal breaker?


I am not a fan of beards for my guy. Mine had a mustache when I met him. I was not shy about telling him I did not like the mustache. On the second date, the mustache was gone. We were married nine months later. Others are welcome to wear beards that are neatly trimmed. No goatees, though. They look devilish to me.
