January
Meeting
On January 9, 2020, the program was titled An Evening With
“President Abraham Lincoln.”
“President Abraham Lincoln” (as portrayed by Randy
Duncan) dropped in and provided an interesting view into the life of the 16th
President of the United States. The entire time he was there, he asked to be
addressed as “Mr. President,” “President Lincoln,” or “Mr. Lincoln.” He did not
break character, even during the Question and Answer period.
Any transcription of his presentation would not do
justice to his talent, so none will be attempted. If you get a chance to attend
any of his presentations, you owe it to yourself to do so.
