George Buss

Having been in the WDC area now for 40 years -- which just means I am old -- I was fortunate enough to see Jim Getty as President Lincoln on several occasions. Mr. Getty passed away in 2015, and I had heard and read (including on this forum) that a "new" Mr. Lincoln had been found in a man named George Buss, from Freeport, IL. I had not had the opportunity to see Mr. Buss until last evening when I had the distinct privilege to sit with him at a dinner at which he was the featured speaker. Although he did not speak at this event as Lincoln, I could certainly see that element in his presentation. George's remarks were brilliant, with a combination of thoughtful and reflective insights woven together with history and humor. And more importantly, he is a most cordial individual.

If you have the opportunity to meet or see George Buss -- either as Lincoln or as himself -- I strongly encourage you to do so. I promise that you will make a new friend.
