"I was amazed at how well you engaged and held the attention of our students (and adults, for that matter). Your knowledge of historical fact, current of feeling and opinion and your own attention to detail provided a realistic talk. Your sense of humor and your awareness of this age group's sense of humor was very effective. Most refreshing to me was the care you took not to leave students with a misunderstanding. This concern for accuracy and not exploiting an opportunity for humor is unusual."

"I can certainly see why you have such an excellent reputation. We hope we can get on your schedule for next year"
L. N. Teacher,
Rock Creek Elementary School
 
"Some of the stories you told us kept us on the edge of our seats and made us really think about and picture how things might have been. The cool thing about the stories were how they were so detailed".
A.W., Student
Riverview Junior High School

 

"Thank you for coming to Riverview to talk to us about the Civil War. It was really neat to see someone dressed up like a Union soldier. When you were talking to us, I almost forgot that you weren't a real Civil War soldier. It was really neat to hear the perspective of the war from someone who sounded like he was actually there, instead of just
reading about it in a boring old history book. Singing songs was really
fun too. I thought it was interesting getting to listen to what soldiers back then sang about. I thought your presentation was a great, fun way to learn about history and I thought you did an awesome
job too. Again, I want to thank you for coming and I hope you come in the years to come to teach other kids. Thank you!"

"Mr. Stonerock has been a marvelous stimulator of student interest...he has my highest praise and admiration for his work with young people."
Glen Dillman, 1984 Indiana Teacher of the Year
Carroll Junior High School
 
"Kevin Stonerock has appeared in our school over the last four years (as "Billy Yank"). Our students are absolutely spell-bound by his first person characterization of life during the Civil War years. He weaves a tale that becomes believeable in a sense it happened last week. I am thoroughly impressed with his work and would highly recommend him".
