President Lincoln comes to town

The Friends of the Henderson County Public Library will hold their annual meeting on Tuesday, October 14, 2008 at 7:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall of the Presbyterian Church located at the corner of Main and Washington Streets in Henderson, Kentucky.

The featured speaker will be Fritz Klein as Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Klein has brought Lincoln to life on the History Channel, Discovery Channel, C-Span and other venues. He has been seen nationally and internationally on stage, in feature films, documentaries, and for many kinds of professional speaking arrangements.



His natural resemblance to Abraham Lincoln can be quite convincing. Several years ago when visiting Washington D.C. he created something of a stir when he walked into Ford's Theater, the place where Lincoln was shot. Though Klein was dressed in ordinary street clothes, his 6'3" height and Quaker beard caused one woman to scream outright when she saw him casually strolling down the stairs.



History buffs and Lincoln enthusiasts will not want to miss spending an evening with President Lincoln. The public is welcome and admission is free. Refreshments will be served following the program. For more information, please contact the Library at 270-826-3712.
