The feed-back I have received indicates the members felt it was one of the best meetings we have had in recent memory. Several members have contacted me inquiring whether you would be available for other similar luncheon meetings, including the federal bar. I have kept your card in my file, and will pass along your information for any request I receive.
Once again, I can't thank you enough for an entertaining and thought-provoking program. Truly, our forefathers were talented, well-versed individuals who sought liberty and freedom. Many thanks for a job well-done."

"I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for bringing Mr. Patrick Henry, Esq. back to life for the VCU Elderhostel Program. The reenactment at St. John's Church on Sunday June 9th was heart-felt and very moving. I was watching the audience and they did not take their eyes off each delegate to the Second Virginia Convention as they defended their viewpoint. The audience paid extra close attention to you.
Your personal visit to the classroom was an added treat. The Elderhostel Program would be thrilled to have you portray Patrick Henry any time. Thank you for loving history enough to recreate Mr. Henry for the public. Anyone who has had the privilege of seeing the re-enactment at St. John's Church or a private meeting with you portraying Mr. Henry has had the opportunity to travel back in time. Thank you for the many years of dedication you have given to bringing back to life one of great men of America's early life."
- Catherine Dodson, Richmond Elderhostel Director
"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
"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 assisting 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
