Wonderful event and presentation

We invited Abe Lincoln to an adult pool party. Everyone was delighted when he showed up. Abe mingled and talked with party guests for the duration, posed for tons of photos, answered everyone’s questions, and did a presentation and speech by the pool. We all had a great time and learned some things. Highly recommended!

This was my first pool party. It presented a challenge to give the group my talk. To my amazement, it turned out wonderfully. A good group of people that I enjoyed talking and educating with.

Exceptional

I saw Mr. Lincoln, er... Mr. Carly at the Royal Oak Historical Society Museum in February, 2023. He was spot-on in terms of appearance, and his manner and interactions with the audience were both knowledgeable and sincere. There were lots of history buffs in the audience, and he engaged them in a way that was enjoyable to all. He gave a very long performance, and left us all highly impressed. We left knowing a lot more about Lincoln than when we arrived. Thank you!

"Wow"

I was very pleased with Mr. Lincoln as he provided such an excellent presentation for my residents. He was informative, engaging, approachable, and pleasant. The resemblance to Lincoln is also undeniably breath taking. Thank you again, GigSalad, for connecting us.

Gettysburg Remembrance Day 2018

We had the privilege to meet Mr. President as my 6yr old daughter called him this past weekend. We were eating dinner at the Dobbin House and he was seated behind us with his party of Generals. He was very gracious and took a picture with my daughter. She was just in amazement of seeing him because earlier in the day we were at the Lincoln Train Museum riding his funeral route to his final resting place. After the picture she said mom I thought he was dead. I couldnt stop laughing. That was the best part of our weekend. Thank you Mr. President and God Bless You.

Thank you very much. Our world needs to share history of our country. I love presenting Lincoln. Love to try and inspire the youth and adults to appreciate our good and bad times of the Union. My goal to put a smile on those to whom I come in contact with. Whatever I give, I receive back 10 fold. If you care to message me the photo of your daughter, it would please this president. God Bless and hope to see your family at next years parade.

What to expect

A client would see Abe Lincoln! Abe is shot (photographed) daily. I am able to give clear concise presentations as well. School functions are a favorite event to attend. I love when Young minds recognize me.

About

My name is Ron Carley. I am the father of a 19 year old Son who attends a Christian College in the Grand Rapids Area in Michigan. I have worked at a job for over 44 years now in Customer Service. 4 Years ago I attended a Halloween Party disguised as Abraham Lincoln. My barber cut my hair based on a picture from the 5 dollar bill. I put on the Top Hat, vest and bow tie and amazed even myself. Several People commented on my uncanny resemblance. I began to research Abe's life and created a web page. My journey has been to say the lease amazing. I am recognized as "Abe" in public even when not in costume. I am blessed to be invited to attend events all across the country.
