More importantly, he was privileged to attend the presentations of hundreds of Master Speakers: Men and women who were truly accomplished.
Decades of collecting notes of their speeches, and saving unique published articles, left him with a huge library of sensational Illustrations. Most of the items in this book came out of that valuable resource.
