If your library has hosted one of these Lincoln Impersonators and you would recommend them, could you please send their name and contact information?

Hi Laura, Not that Albion District Library has hosted Kevin (yet), but I'm very familiar with Kevin Wood. Peruse the website, but he is phenomenal both in and out of character. He even offers lectures en español. Find out more by: - Website | mrlincoln.com - Email | abe@mrlincoln.com - Mobile | 708-979-3093 Kevin is a wonderful storyteller, and I can't wait for him to visit Albion.

Judge Ron Lowe of Plymouth's 35th District Court has been an Abraham Lincoln impersonator in the past. He is still at the court on Plymouth Road although I'm not sure he still does bookings for appearances as Lincoln., Julie Brown, Leanna Hicks Public Library of Inkster library aide On Thu, May 18, 2023 at 2:35 PM Jonesville District Library via Michlib-l < michlib-l@mcls.org> wrote:
