05/30/2018 Celebrate Commemorate Memorial Day

There is no one better to portray President Lincoln, here in Waterloo, NY, the Official Birthplace of Memorial Day. Fritz has become a friend as well as performer to our group! There are many who look forward to the presentations.
05/2018 – Central Weights & Measures

Mr. Klein’s Lincoln was the highlight of the Central Weights & Measures Conference!!!!!!!!
March 2017 – Orlando – Museum of the Bible exibit: “Night at the Museum”

Mr. Klein did an amazing job as Abraham Lincoln. He was professional, very kind, well spoken, and well researched. He did a great job focusing on the content that our organization influences and did research on his own to be able to interact with guests. He was the hit of the show.

We had so many wonderful comments and THREE TIMES our Average attendance over the last several President’s Days. So that worked! I want to thank you especially for the additional effort you put forth visiting the Television Stations with me Monday Morning. That did a lot to boost attendance and to reinforce our efforts as the Heart & Soul of Arts, Culture and History in our community. We are a leader in those areas and you certainly put a stamp of authenticity to our efforts for which I am very grateful.

“Fritz could not have been more authentic, other than really being Lincoln. We received rave reviews from the schools and adults. We came away feeling we had met Mr. Lincoln and gained a deeper understanding of his era in history.”
from the “James Younger Gang” 10-20-16

Klein, who bears a striking resemblance to Lincoln, spoke to us in a home-spun manner as if we were seated around a wood stove with our feet on the cracker barrel. He gave a thoroughly convincing portrayal of the full range of Lincoln’s character, blending humorous political campaign stories and the deepest feelings of grief experienced through Lincoln’s troubled life. He recited both Lincoln’s Gettysburg address and his second inaugural address, inspiring a thirst for tolerance of and respect for our fellow citizens and for our nation that seems to be lacking in today’s real life political discourse and electoral rhetoric.
National Funeral Directors Association

“I participated with you during the NFDA Service of Remembrance… Your work concerning the portrayal of Abraham Lincoln of course is well known throughout all Lincoln’s circles, the media, and the general public…. I wanted to share with you just how much I enjoyed your performance. You, of course physically resemble Lincoln, but your results are much deeper than mere physical appearance… I was impressed with the accuracy of your walk, how you inflected your voice, your Lincolnesque mannerisms and the depth of your (sic) general physical and emotional presence which you put into your role. You are truly unique in your trade, and you do the memory of Abraham Lincoln proud.”
August 3, 2016 International Flying Farmers

“You were so thoroughly in character reciting Lincoln’s words, it seemed as if he were there; and it was interesting how so much of his speeches are fitting for today!”
Pipestone Civil War Days, Pipestone, Minnesota – August 2016

“Fritz Klein embodies the role of Abraham Lincoln so completely that you feel you are in the presence of the President as he is addressing the problems of the Civil War.”
Windy City Matchcover Club – August 2016

Thank you!! They will be talking about your presentation for years to come. Everyone said it was something they did not expect. Your sense of humor of the day was excellent.
