The Presentation
Has this country ever produced a more interesting humorist
than Abraham Lincoln? Have we a leader to match Lincoln’s wisdom as he
shepherded this country through the depths of the Civil War, a war that was all
but lost on so many occasions? Arnold Kunst, the author of the recently
published ‘Lincoln 365,’ gave his first talk on Abraham Lincoln in high school
and has been fascinated by him ever since. The Abraham Lincoln Arnold uncovers
for us in this talk gives every appearance of walking on water; Lincoln will be
glad to show us, if we but care to look closely, where the rocks are! Lincoln,
always comfortable inside his own skin, shows us reasons aplenty for you and me
to choose him as our role model!
The Presentater
Arnold, who holds an MA in history from Queen's
University in Northern Ireland, taught both children and adults on both sides
of the Atlantic for well over 30 years. Recently retired, his students range
from the children of cabinet ministers to convicted felons, from the cream of
the academic crop to those some would consider the dregs of society. He brings
a wide range of experience to the speaker's podium – teacher, business owner,
school administrator, professional musician, free-lance journalist, grants
writer, house painter, Hospice volunteer.
Arnold has fine-tuned his speaking skills with Toastmasters
International. His Lincoln presentations, as well as his recently-published
"Lincoln 365," arose out of an award-winning Toastmasters speech
entitled 'Lincoln Was a Loser.' You and I should lose like Lincoln!
His most recent position, as a teacher in a California state
prison, is where his fascination with Abraham Lincoln turned into a flat-out
passion. He was utterly astonished to find the drug dealers and wife beaters in
his class were turned to putty in Lincoln’s hands! As Arnold witnessed first-hand the
astonishing effect Abraham Lincoln had on his students, he bottled that Lincoln
in his recently-published book, “Lincoln 365.”
If Lincoln could entice a sense of direction in rudderless felons, just
think what he might do for the likes of you and me!
