NEVER SEEN THIS ONE OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN ( WORD IS THIS IS FAKE)

BILL PORTER WENT DOOR TO DOOR

Bill’s physical handicaps never stopped him. He found a way to make a living and went door to door selling Watkins products. Every morning Bill would arrive downtown and have the shoe shine guys at Kelly’s Olympian on Washington tie his to start selling. William H. Macy won best actor for a TV movie along with six other Emmy’s. He did a spectacular job portraying Bill who died in 2013 at age 81. A real gem this man.
