“for 75 days this summer the people of Cobb County, GA, and neighboring communities will have a unique opportunity to view an exhibit featuring original materials from America's great writer and humorist: Mark Twain. The exhibit, known as, ``Mark Twain: An American Voice to the World,'' will be on display in Kennesaw State University's Horace Sturgis Library, and will feature original manuscripts, artifacts, first editions, and other items from this great American author. The exhibition has been praised as ``The most richly varied and representative display of original materials relating to the life and works of Mark Twain ever assembled for public exhibition,'' by Robert Pack Browning, director of the Mark Twain papers at the University of California, Berkeley. I would like to congratulate Kennesaw State University president Betty L. Siegel, library director Robert B. Williams, and his staff. I would also like to thank the numerous institutions and collectors who participated in the exhibition. My thanks goes also to my colleagues, Speaker Gingrich, and Fifth District Congressman John Lewis, and to Fred Bentley, Sr., for making this project a reality for the people of Georgia.”
