The January program featured John Voehl, who, as Abe Lincoln, talked about the 15 Presidents that preceded him, described their importance and his connections with them. He also provided the highlights of his own 16th Presidency, including the Civil War, emancipation, and Gettysburg Address.
Personal fact: Abe's favorite treat was Sugar and Ginger Cookies.
Historical League President Jolynn Clarke remarked, "I learned more about history in that program than in my Junior High School History Class."

Katie Tovar commented, "He is a fascinating speaker and does complete justice to President Lincoln." |
