What an amazing person- the obit says it all.

As my tribute to Jim, I would like to refer you back to the first post on this thread that I made in 2013, after having Jim appear as Mr. Lincoln at Surratt House Museum. It sort of reiterates what his children said in the above obituary.

While we all loved Jim Getty as Abraham Lincoln, he had a great personal history of service to young people also. This will show the real man under the stovepipe hat: http://www.gettysburgtimes.com/obituarie...a10be.html

When I first learned of his musical background, I was flabbergasted. I just could not imagine him having any other voice than the one that he fashioned after Mr. Lincoln's high-pitched twang! I also did not realize that his is the voice at the Lincoln Memorial.

I had the opportunity to meet Jim Getty several times over the last couple of years. He was a very genuine man with a true gentleness of spirit. I think Mr. Lincoln would have been very comfortable with a man such as that portraying him.
