Lincoln-to-go
Testimonials
“The students enjoyed your presentation and especially remembered
the facts surrounding burning of Atlanta. They enjoyed your pictures
and your stories of intriguing characters like General Hood and his
leadership skills. Your presentation was a great blend of visuals, battle
strategies, character sketches, and chronological events. I would love
for you to come back next year!

"Dick Freeman - as John Hay - did a great job of talking about Abraham
Lincoln's life and times. I learned things about President Lincoln that
was never taught in all of my years of history classes! Mr. Freeman,
being dressed in period attire added tremendously to the overall
presentation. It set the stage for the timeframe to a class of about 40
elementary school children. They were a tough audience posing many
questions which Mr. Freeman answered without missing a beat. It was
quite obvious that Dick knows a lot about the history, life and times of
Abraham Lincoln. I'd highly recommend this presentation for school
systems or anyone wishing to learn more about our 16th President"

"My children always love Mr. Freeman speaking to my classroom. He is
very knowledgeable about Abraham Lincoln. They love the pictures and
props - especially the period clothes! They are always very attentive
during the presentation and always clamor for my Lincoln books after his
presentations!

personally.”

us!”

"As a theatre trained actress, when
attending a theatrical production,
particularly classical or historical pieces, it
is essential for me to not only be
entertained, but to be drawn into the
subject's world; otherwise boredom can
set in rather quickly. Dick Freeman's love
and knowledge of all things Lincoln, fully
engages the listener as they watch him
portray the character of John Hay. As he
recounts the life and times of Abraham
Lincoln, one is moved to want to know
much more than the "Emancipation
Proclamation" tells us about this legend.
Richard's performance and adept
knowledge will ignite any student's
curiosity -young or old."
