- Actor
In 1986 a man attending Mr. Bestrom's church noticed his resemblance to
Mr. Lincoln without a beard and said, "You look like Lincoln!". Upon
his suggestion, Mr. Bestrom started growing a beard and them it all
fell into place. Several years later he terminated his employment, at
age 61, and "hit the road". Mr. Bestrom has been in 26 states and many
schools. He traveled the country in an RV painted to resemble a log
cabin. Now he gives his time and talent to senior citizens, those
forgotten people of the last generation who have given so much to us
and our heritage. Mr. Bestrom is able to rekindle the era of Lincoln
for them. They love it as does he. Mr. Bestrom's family includes a
former wife, three children, and two grandchildren.
