-—Pat Forsythe, Executive Director

"Your post-show presentation of how Will Rogers would view the world today, if living, really struck home with the audience. The Will Rogers' view that the world problems could be more easily resovled if we could get back to the small village mentality is very thought provoking."
—Robert H. Royer, Jr., Vice President
Eisenhower Foundation
Abilene, Kansas
"Thank you so much for your wonderful performance. We believe the audience went away with more than great entertainment…they went away with an encouraging message about themselves and to have faith in the rest of us. Are you sure Will Rogers isn't on stage, too, nudging you along during your performance?"
—Bill and Ellen Lilja
Flinn's Living History Theater
Albany, Oregon

"Of the 11 events presented during the festival, our post festival audience survey evaluations rated Mr. Eberhart with the highest rating….Recalling previous literature festivals here, I must say Mr. Eberhart's performance stands out as one of the best."
—Mary Cowden, Literary Festival Chairman
Kingsport, Tennessee
"After hearing you I fell I truly understand the fantastic effect Will had not only on this country, but also the world. Your successful goal to convey to the public the humor, wit. quotes and philosophy of WILL ROGERS will definitely insure that he will never be forgotten."
—Robert L Snyder, Chairman

"Your performance was a true highlight of the conference. I've heard many glowing comments about the show. My staff have often commented to me about your unflappable professionalism and patience while making the pre-show arrangements. It was a pleasure to have you participate in the conference."
—Amy Carrell, PhD

International Society for Humor Studies
Univ. of Central Oklahoma

"Thank you so much for your contribution to our 80th anniversary celebration. Your portrayal of Will Rogers provided a fitting finale to our event, which turned out to be the most successful special event fundraiser in the chapter's history. The comment I heard most often is, 'it just fit in with the surrounds so well. A western setting, Will Rogers, and the Red Cross, what more could you want?'"
—Will Huett, Executive Director
Centennial Chapter, American Red Cross
Fort Collins, Colorado
"You sure are a funny son-of-a-gun. I can't get over how funny the newspapers can be from your point of view. And your views of Washington were refreshing, too. Oops. This letter is really to Cy Eberhart, who was performing 'Will Rogers, Live! It was so real, so believable, I just sort of forgot."
—Scott D. Maquire, CEO
