AN EVENING WITH ABRAHAM LINCOLN: 
AMERICA’S GREATEST PRESIDENT

Are you puzzled by American politics? You may just find the answers to today’s challenges from a 
President who lived 150 years ago. Join us on Tuesday, November 15, 2016 at 7:00 pm in the Sierra Madre 
Public Library for the inspiring presentation, “An Evening with Abraham Lincoln: America’s Greatest 
President.” 

 “I had the honor and privilege of learning about my friend Mr. Lincoln over the six years I studied his 
life,” says Richard Procter, Senior Writer at BRC Imagination Arts, and Sierra Madre Library Trustee. “I 
was the ‘senior storyteller’ for the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library in Springfield, Illinois. What I 
learned changed my view of American history. It also showed me how one person – a common person, 
like you and me – can change that history.” 

 Procter won a THEA Award (the Oscar of the themed entertainment business) for his contributions 
to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. It continues to be one of the most popular, 
most widely imitated museums in America. 

 Procter has worked on more than a hundred projects at BRC Imagination Arts, including experiences 
for three world Expos, Florida’s Kennedy Space Center and the states of Louisiana and Texas. Before this, 
he was an award-winning Creative Director (11 Clios) for the advertising agency Bert, Barz and Kirby, 
an Imagineer for the Walt Disney Company, and the writer/producer of more than a hundred hours of 
television for the Discovery Channel, TLC, the A&E Network, and PBS.
