Background:

Don got his start as Lincoln several years ago by being talked into it by his friends after he had
allowed his sideburns to meet in the center of his chin. He then hit the books and began to study
about Lincoln and the Civil War and gaining experience portraying at re-enactments. Don met
Roger Knox (Union) and Ron Hargrave (Confederate) at a re-enactment and formed up
as a very successful team to bring history alive in an unique way to the delight of students and
teachers alike.
