The wit and wisdom of Will Rogers

Sitting down with Randall Reeder, retired Extension ag engineer at The Ohio State University is like sitting down and talking with Will Rogers. Reeder not only looks like Will, he talks like Will.

“I was discovered in 1996 by a prominent speaker from Oklahoma,” Reeder said. “And when somebody from Oklahoma comes up to you and says “you gotta be Will Rogers” well, you kind of listen to them and that’s how it all got started.”

Reeder travels the country as Will Rogers and has written a book that includes the wit and wisdom of Will Rogers.

“So I’ve been pulling these together and then different advice from different people on how to organize it, so it’s chronological,” said Reeder. “One of my friends told me last week it like reading history, from 1923 on up through 1935, that’s the timeframe.”
