Meet Abe Lincoln

At this week's Lakeside Learning in Storm Lake Bonnie was telling us about the variety of programs that were possible for adults. We heard about WILBOR, Current Event topics, Medline and the Lincoln Bicentennial. There is a great website, (http:// www. lincolnbicentennial.gov) that provides lots of facts and information but of course nothing could possibly be better than actually meeting Abraham Lincoln and hearing about 1860's life. This Lincoln reenacter, Stan DeHaan , is from Orange City and does presentations all over the state. He gave about 40 minute presentation that included portions of 2 inaugural speeches and the Gettysburg Address. He talked about growing up, his family, his faith and his presidency. This was an amazing presentation and not only would adults enjoy a program like this, but so would young adults .
