The Ridge Historical Society (RHS) joins in mourning the death of Michael Krebs, the Chicago actor who personified Abraham Lincoln.
Michael and actress Debra Ann Miller portrayed President and Mary Todd Lincoln in dramatic works based on true life stories.
In 2010, RHS brought Michael and Debra Ann to the Beverly Art Center (BAC) for their "Meeting the Lincolns" production. Local school children attended the event. Afterwards, the children were enthralled to meet "Mr. Lincoln" up close and personal.
The two pictures shown here are from that day at the BAC.
They also made several appearances at the Blue Island Historical Society. Michael was always welcomed on the Ridge.
