“Dear Howard, you were spectacular. The audience absolutely loved the performance as was noted by the standing ovation they gave at the end. I was thanked repeatedly for having found you and inviting you to perform at the library. The audience was completely engrossed and captivated by the words of Abraham Lincoln as expressed by you.”
Dr. Matthew Warshauer, Professor of History, Central Connecticut State University; and Co-Chair, Connecticut Civil War Commemoration Commission
“In my mind, you have become the model upon which I judge all Lincoln reenactors. As I have said in the past, it is your voice that is in my head when I read anything by President Lincoln.”
Brooklyn Historical Society
“I express my appreciation and that of the society members and guests when I offer a rousing “Bravo!” for your portrayal of our 16th president. You certainly brought President Lincoln to life for me and for our very attentive audience. Your acting talents and your dedication to study and preparation were obvious. Your choice of President Lincoln’s writings showed us a man who was amusing, insightful, intelligent, generous, god-fearing, hard-working, loyal, and loving – a complex and interesting man, a man whose physical stature became a metaphor for the stature granted by history.”
H. P., Brookfield CT
“I had the pleasure along with my wife attending your performance this past Friday night at the Brookfield Library. We both came away better for having been there. We laughed, were inspired, informed, and we were deeply touched emotionally at times by your portrayal of Lincoln.”
Trumbull Library, Trumbull CT
“Your moving portrayal of Lincoln and the moments of his life were like being with the great man himself!”
