Toastmasters

As most of my friends know, I am a member of Toastmasters International. This organization's purpose is to enable better communication among people including speaking and listening skills. I normally write out most of my speeches, so I thought it would be fun to archive them. I have attached a link to a speech I gave about the assassination of President Lincoln. You can see all my speeches in a page I will add in the future.

Hmm....Toastmasters? I ought to try that. Liked the speech - great info. The weaving of various figures and facts gave me a much clearer picture of what was happening during that time of history. What were your sources? I'd tweak the conclusion a bit, it is rather abrupt, not leaving the audience with a direction to go with the information you've given them.
