Wonder which was more likely to refuse the pardon? Actually, it really could have been Johnson for several possible reasons. But I don't know either, sadly. William

Jerree, Now that I think about it, I seem to remember that is was JOHNSON. Where are you all from?? I live in mid- central IL on an 80 acre farm with my husband, four cats and three horses. Had quite a gulley washer this morning. I didn't know if the house would stand, or not.
