This man's presentation completed the event for me. He was excellent.<br /><br />Sharkey, the man was "TR." Unflappable and knew fully "who he was."<br /><br />Grace, this gentleman was Roosevelt. Outstanding performer. I suppose people choose acting for many reasons, though I think an element of my supposition may underlie most of those decisions. We are grateful, though, for those who do it and do it well; and generally those are well-rewarded for their efforts.<br /><br />Chuck, there have been and still are, I suppose, those societies where oral tradition demands faithful memorization, recall, and repetition.<br />If the production of enough mirrors would give us a good look at ourselves, I suspect it is likely we would "get it backwards."<br /> <br />Did the Lord not tell Moses to tell the people to write his Word in their hearts and souls?vanillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978025976591113499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-2437875243763617312014-10-17T11:07:14.379-04:002014-10-17T11:07:14.379-04:00I get a slight taste of Fahrenheit 451, where indi...I get a slight taste of <i>Fahrenheit 451</i>, where individuals "become" books.

I love that he took questions and had such a thorough knowledge and command of TR!<br /><br />Did you watch the mini-series on PBS on the Roosevelts? I had 3 or 4 days and then I had things to do. I still want to go back and finish watching it. 7 nights camped out on the couch was too much for me--but it was sure fascinating. What a character Teddy was!Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042143254001890567noreply@blogger.com
