March 2009 Speaking Engagements
By Samuel P. Wheeler | March 20, 2009
My speaking schedule has picked up and I thought I might pass along a couple of upcoming dates to you.
Tomorrow evening, March 21, 2009, I will be the keynote speaker at the Jackson County Republican Lincoln Day Dinner. The event will be held at the Giant City Lodge, in Giant City Park, Makanda, Illinois. Doors open at 5:30, followed by dinner at 6:30. Tickets are $30 per person. My comments will focus on “The Lincoln Legacy.”
On Saturday, March 28, 2009, I will be at Illinois College in Jacksonville, Illinois, attending the 29th Annual Illinois History Symposium. This year’s theme is “Abraham Lincoln in Ante-Bellum Illinois, 1830-1861.” I am scheduled to present a paper, “Every Spot a Grave: The Poetry of Abraham Lincoln,” in Crispin Hall, Room 202, beginning at 10:00 am. My session lasts until 11:45.

Dr. Wheeler,
It was great to finally get to meet you, and your presentation was wonderful. I truly hope “Every Spot a Grave” is a book someday. The poetry is a neglected area of Lincoln studies, and you’ve covered it well.
… and I love your enthusiasm. Never lose it, okay?
Best wishes,
Ann

Sam,
I finally got caught up on my blogging about the symposium. Here’s the post where I wrote about you – and your presentation.
