Educational Policy Conference, March 16-18, 2000, St. Louis, MO: "Thank you, thank you, thank you! You were so special to come to St. Louis and give us a wonderful taste of Patrick Henry. I got so many excellent comments on how you made them feel that 'they were there'!" Donna H. Hearne, The Constitutional Coalition 27th Annual Conservative Political Action Conference, January 2000: "This past Friday I had the opportunity to hear the presentation made by Michael Owen Wells, the 'lawyer, actor & living history interpreter' who portrays Patrick Henry. He delivered a 10 to 12 minute complete version of Patrick Henry's "Give Me Liberty or Give me Death" address. As he began his performance at the banquet event about 30% of the audience was chatting and tinkling their dinnerware. Within two minutes the place silenced, and within 3, one could have heard a pin drop except for Mr. Henry's compelling oration. At the conclusion, the audience leapt to its feet, shouting bravo, bravo!" George S. Dunlop, Century Communications, Inc. "Thanks do much for coming up and assisiting us with C-PAC. We continue to receive rave reviews about your appearance. Of course, you have the skills and experience to give a speech as Patrick Henry would have given it, and make the crowd actually believe that they were in the presence of the 'Voice of the Revolution'. Congratulations on your well-deserved reputation, and I'm glad that we could work together." Gary Aldrich, President, The Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberties "Your wonderful presentation, in character as Patrick Henry, added so much to the overall quality of the Ronald Reagan Banquet. People are still telling me how much they enjoyed it." David A. Keene, Chairman, The American Conservative Union Foundation National Forensics League, Summer 1999, Fayetteville, NC: "The performance of Mr. Wells as Patrick Henry was outstanding!" Jim Copeland, Executive Secretary, National Forensics League
