This past Tuesday night, nearly 200 community members enjoyed the "Friends of the Library" dinner theatre presentation by the 26th President of the United States of America, Theodore Roosevelt. Actor Joe Wiegand did a superlative job portraying the life and times of the New York-born, frail and sickly child, science enthusiast, conservationist, Harvard graduate, cowboy, amateur boxer, Rough Rider,Bull Moose politician, and most colorful White House personality. Kudos to Mrs. Sandy Walker and company for the dinner and the LHS junior varsity cheerleaders for their outstanding service. The squad received many compliments and we all liked their teddy bear ears.
On Wednesday, President Roosevelt did a repeat performance for the system's eighth and ninth graders. Outsiders were most complimentary of the students' behavior and appearance.
Please be sure to thank our public library staff with a special thanks to Mrs. Catherine Tomlin, Director of the Luverne Public Library. Also, please thank members of Luverne United Methodist Church and Pastor Ken Jackson for providing the facilities.
