Program Thanks to Norm Andersson
for arranging the program and Dick Wilhelm for
Introducing our 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt (in the person of Don Moon).
Don’s portrayal of T.R. has taken off and he has been part of many public and private events. Don is a Colorado native with roots going back to the 1800’s when his grandparents arrived in Colorado in a covered wagon and homesteaded 640 acres along the Arkansas River. Don was raised in Pueblo and after 19 months in Viet Nam he settled in Colorado Springs. Dons’ portrayal of Theodore Roosevelt takes on his personal and political and civic life.
During his program, Don lives the life of Roosevelt from start to finish and tells of Roosevelts days as NYC Police Commissioner, Undersecretary of the Navy, his rough riders days, Governor of NY and of course, Vice-President and President. T.R. was born in 1858 in New York City into an affluent family. He wanted to be a natural scientist and studied nature at his home in Oyster Bay and in the Adirondack’s as a youth. He attended Harvard and excelled in boxing and rowing and was the captain of the boxing team.
T.R. was a consummate politician and had been schooled by his father and mother to be a leader, nothing but the best effort was due. A wonderful program!!!!
$$$$$$$$$ John Poyzer and Eric Scott split the small pot and Bill Brummett got the big bucks.
