Paul Stillman
In the photo above, Paul Stillman appears in full regalia, presenting one of his many personas, Thomas Stillwell, a Revolutionary War Soldier. This program is a militiaman's view of the war that won our country's freedom in the 18th century. Paul is an artist in the GST BOCES Arts in Education Directory and has been performing his first-person, historical programs for over 20 years. His web-site informs us that "his unique style has brought 'history to life' for schools in virtually every school district in the GST BOCES region. Complete with visual aids, support materials and many props, he enhances historical fact and makes history fun!" Together with Distance Learning Coordinator, René Carver, Paul is now bringing his programs to students across the region via "DL" or Distance Learning. Whether you get Paul live or a virtual Paul, your students are not likely to forget their history lessons!
