I have given many presentations about the Founding Fathers. I am the author of “Founding Fathers –Uncommon Heroes.” As I have spoken, many have asked “Who is your favorite Founding Father?”

That’s such a difficult question, I answer: “When I am speaking about George Washington, he’s my favorite. When I am talking about Thomas Jefferson, he’s my favorite. When I speak about Patrick Henry, he’s my favorite. When I am discussing John Adams, he’s my favorite. And when I speak about James Madison and Dolley Madison, they are my favorites.”

But after all of that, I must admit that the favorite of all my audiences has been, and continues to be, Benjamin Franklin. There are so many great stories about him and all he accomplished in his life, that are so interesting, that he remains the crowd favorite.

But the most fun to talk about is when I intertwine all their lives together in one presentation, and you can see how each one of them contributed so much to this Nation, it is unbelieveable!
