"Tell me and I forget!  Teach me and I remember!  Involve me and I learn!"

                                                                                --Benjamin Franklin
America's favorite founding father comes alive
to demonstrate how a life of self-discipline
inquiry, public service and a genuine love of life
led to international fame
and the gratitude of an entire nation!
   THE MAN WHO TAMED LIGHTNING
                                           & CONQUERED CROWNS!

AN INVENTOR LIKE NO OTHER! 
BIFOCALS, THE GULF STREAM, THE POLITICAL CARTOON, SWIM FLIPPERS, THE FRANKLIN STOVE, 
THE LIGHTNING ROD!
THE GLASS ARMONICA! (LOOK IT UP!)
ADDRESSES:

EVERY UTTERANCE HE MADE IN 
THE CHARACTER OF POOR RICHARD:
"A PENNY SAVED IS A PENNY EARNED."
"THERE IS NO GAIN WITHOU PAIN."
"EARLY TO BED AND EARLY TO RISE..."
(YOU KNOW THE REST!)
