On April 8, Gerhard spoke to over 200 Westfall High School students in Williamsport, Ohio. His presentation began with a short description his family’s good life before WWII. He discussed the impact of WWII on his family: danger, near starvation, fleeing their homeland, all interspersed with courage and the miraculous survival. The presentation continued with his family’s coming to American and living the American Dream.
At the end Gerhard discussed the foundations of America’s greatness and how we forget our foundations at our peril. The students were attentive and several stopped afterward to ask questions and thank Gerhard.

Not only do I have the best contractor in the county doing painting and renovations, I have the best read contractor!
Gary Wright, of Wright Builders (on the right) read the book several months ago. He recommended it to Jason Fuller who purchased two yesterday, one for himself and one for his dad.
The evening of his purchase Jason read the first 60 pages. I’m pleased to report he likes the book!
Over the last two days I spoke to history students at Bloom Carroll High School in Carroll, Ohio. Yesterday the largest group I spoke to at one time was 60 students.
I spoke for 5 periods straight. Legs and voice held up! The students respectfully listened and I believe gained some perspective on life from the presentation. Several students asked for business cards. Maybe they or their parents will purchase a book?
Gerhard’s visit even got a write-up in the Lancaster Eagle-Gazette!
Last week I sold a book to the plumber who replaced the disposal. Yesterday I sold a book to the generator maintenance guy. I hire well read plumbers and maintenance people!
It isn’t the best new market for selling books, however, since they charge many times more for their services than I make on each book. 🙂
It proves again it does not pay to be shy when selling books.
This past Monday and Tuesday I spoke with 16 history classes at Logan Elm High School. The presentation was well received and the students were interested – several came up to talk to me after the presentation.
Voice held up. My legs are tired!
Thanks to Matthew Forte for the photos!
