?Hi! I'd like to recommend a presenter - his name is Kevin Wood and he is the spitting image of Abe Lincoln, and he knows it! He has over 14 different Lincoln programs that he does and he has just moved to Michigan. He stopped by my library to drop off his card and everyone was talking about him! We are hosting him in October for a Thanksgiving program, but I also had him present at a former library and his program was very well received. He's a very nice guy and knows what he's doing. his email is: abe(a)mrlincoln.com Thanks!
