You remember your high school history classes, don't you? Remembering dates, falling asleep, bored to death, anxiously waiting for the class to end. It was anything but "Living History."
If those are your history class memories, then you need to see David Wiedenkeller's captivating Living History presentations. David brings a sense of authenticity and excitement to historical figures rarely experienced in today's classrooms. His passion for helping students get excited about history comes out of his personal enthusiasm and experience in making history "live." Having participated in living history displays for the past 10 years as a World War II re-enactor, he has become a collector of authentic and accurate military uniforms and equipment from various periods in history.
In April 1999, David participated in the week-long Titanic Exibition in St. Paul, Minnesota, as survivor first officer Charles Lightoller. He is a regular presenter at Barnes and Noble Bookstores and has experience speaking to a wide spectrum of audience ages from elementary school to college level classes.
He holds a Master's degree in Public History from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and a certification in museum studies from the Milwaukee Public Museum.
In December, 1999, David was featured on the television program, "Milwaukee on 24." The entire 30-minute program was devoted to his historical re-enactments, which are pictured here.
