A Visit From Abraham Lincoln

On August 27, we had a visit from Abraham Lincoln presenter, Gerald Bestrom.
Gerald is from Hastings, MI and has been nationally recognized twice
as a winner of the 'Lincoln Look-alike Contest'
in Hodgenville, KY, Lincoln's birthplace.

Bestrom presented 'The Heart and Humor of Abraham Lincoln' to us.
The program included singing, playing musical saw, piano,
harmonica and recitations of Lincoln's speeches,
as well as Lincoln anecdotes with a few jokes thrown in.
