the audience was delighted."

"The Peter Krass presentation
was a highlight event for our campus. Peter offered an especially
poignant, entertaining, thought-provoking and, most importantly,
splendid study of the man and his times. A wonderful way to spend
an afternoon."

wit and style, illustrating his talk with excellent pictures

and kept them engaged throughout his talk."

Director
Easton Area Public Library
"Anyone who enjoys reading
biographies, studying history or learning about American culture
will enjoy Peter Krass's presentation on Andrew Carnegie
a man many Americans know only as one of this country's first
tycoons. Krass injects his talk with humor, intelligence, understanding
and personal opinion to give the audience a real-life look at
a complicated individual."
Rita Rouse
Charlotte Public Library
"Peter Krass is an engaging
speaker who provides a fascinating perspective of Andrew Carnegie
Anyone who enjoys history, business and the human psyche will
relish hearing Krass on this important topic."
Danni Piccolo
Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh
"Who could imagine that
a presentation about Andrew Carnegie could be relaxing, intriguing,
informative and just plain fun? Peter's charming style brought
Carnegie to life in a way that embraced facts and flaws, that
encouraged dialogue and illustrated his insight into this complicated
persona."
