What People are Saying...

Wow! What a great program last Sunday! You really made history come alive with your dramatic, enthusiastic presentation laced with humor! Thank you for a wonderful program and for all you do to preserve and promote the rich history of our state!
- Patti Dunlap, president, Stokes County Historical Society

Your presentation was excellent. You are one of the few speakers I have known who can hold an audience's attention so well and leave the audience wanting more.
- Linda Lindsey, Historic Burke Foundation

“We knew you would be good, but Wow, you knocked it out of the park!
Combining wit with stellar research is always a winning combination. Your exuberance brought history alive to our audience, and everyone I’ve spoken to gave you rave reviews and asked if we could have you back. The board concurs! Your visit to Concord delighted us all.”

 - Vicki Isenhour, Concord Friends of the Library, Concord, NC

Randell Jones absolutely lives up to his reputation of delighting audiences with his storytelling and fascinating historical perspectives.  Even old history buffs walk away from his programs having learned something new.  He has a way of walking you through history, bringing it to life with wit, humor, and insight.
 - Laurie Johnston, North Carolina Room Curator,
Burke County Public Library

We are expecting several dozen for the Randell Jones lecture tomorrow! Response has been outstanding! Looking forward to another great program!
- Kay Peninger, president and CEO, Charlotte Museum of History

Your presentation at our “Historians Huddle” played a key role in furthering our goal of teaching our members about our shared history. You exceeded my expectations; I have received positive feedback may times at the 2017 SAR National Congress and at subsequent SAR events. 
- Jack Manning, Historian General
National Society, Sons of the American Revolution

Wow, Randell! That was such a great program tonight on “Other Lives of Daniel Boone”!  You covered it all—even the wagon train in the 1960s and all of his statues!  You were such a good speaker and very energizing for the crowd.  Very nice crowd.  I saw people I had not seen in years!  Take care and come back anytime!
