Bob Conrad is the author/ illustrator of "Bob Conrad's Great Americans"
which highlights the life of several great Americans including Abraham
Lincoln. The research that went into that book inspired this program.

"Abe  Lincoln  in  Person"  will  give  your  students  the  chance  to  see
the  sixteenth  president  of  the  United  States  and  to gain  an  insight into  
the  personality  of  this  remarkable  man  as  he  tells  the  story  of his life
from a log cabin to the White House.

Mr. Lincoln will speak about:
  • Growing up in a log cabin
  • His Family and Children
  • The importance of reading, learning and history
  • The entertainment of the day: The Medicine Show
  • The Civil War and slavery

Author / actor Bob  Conrad's  uncanny  resemblance  to  Abe  Lincoln,  due  
to theatrical  makeup  and  an  authentic  costume,  will  make  all  of  your
students truly believe that they are seeing  
Abe Lincoln in Person.

Listen to what they say!

Bob Conrad , of Conrad Productions, presented his wonderful rendition of "Abe Lincoln in
Person" at the Brentwood Public Library for the second time, once in February 2006 and
again this year February 2009. Bob is a man of many talents. He is an excellent teacher, an
entertainer, a ventriloquist, a magician and a very warm person who captivates his audience
with humor.  There were 70 people, children and parents who came to see Bob's Abe
Lincoln show this year. Everyone enjoyed the show immensely.  Bob has performed many
shows at Brentwood Public Library over the last  4 years including "The American History
Magic Show", Songs That Helped Build America", "A Magical Approach to Geography", Davy
Crockett's American Frontier" and "A Visit with Thomas Alva Edison". We invite Bob Conrad
back once or twice a year, to do entertaining history productions. The parents appreciate
Bob's entertaining their kids while making history come alive for them.  Bob performs a wide
variety of shows other than history related ones. I have him present history shows because
that is out venue in this department of our library. If you invite Bob to your school or library,
you will be happy you did. He is wonderful.

I just want to thank you for the wonderful Lincoln shows yesterday, as I worked with the
various students during the day, many of them brought up things they enjoyed and learned,
even 2nd graders.  I think everyone got a lot out of it.
Thanks for your flexibility on doing 2 shows as well; it worked out so nicely having smaller
audiences.

On behalf of our Yocum Elementary School  staff and students, thank you for your dynamic
presentation of Abe Lincoln .  Your background knowledge combined with your attention to
detail served as a wonderful reminder of Lincoln's achievements.
I sincerely appreciate your kind and positive attitude with our children. They loved the
assembly!

I would like to thank you for coming to Johnson School and for your marvelous performance
as Abraham Lincoln.  You were certainly Abraham Lincoln in the flesh!
Our students truly loved your performance and learned a great deal about the 16th
president of the Untied States.  Mr. Conrad, you have the ability to get your points across in
the most palatable way.  Our students, who ranged in age from 3 years  to 11 years old
represent the grade levels of preschool disabilities through fourth grades.  Every student
was attentive and hung on every word and move that you made.  What a credit to your
talents!
Thank you, once again for providing our students with such an educational and entertaining
program.  We hope to have you back in the future.

Barry Rosenzweig, Principal, H.C. Johnson Elementary, Jackson ,NJ

I wish to thank you for your wonderful performance last Friday on Abraham Lincoln at our
school.  The children enjoyed your magic and puppet but most of all I feel they received a
better understanding of our 16th president.  Your acting was very good and having you here
near President's Day made it very appropriate.  Once again thank you for a very
educational assembly!
