Her information is well-organized and she is enthusiastic about her subjects. I had heard the talk previously and it was just as fresh the second time.

Diane is one of the most effective speakers I have ever heard. She speaks clearly and in language that the novice or expert can understand. Her talk on the Freedman's Bureau Records was informative and an excellent summary of these valuable records.

her talk was well organized and had many specific examples of the material and its usefulness.
Most recently I heard her on Freedman's Bank records.

Actually, I have heard Diane speak a number of time. She is an excellent presenter. She speaks clearly and loudly. She knows her subject.
She accepts questions. I recommend her highly

Your talk on Freedmen's Bureau records exposed me to additional information on the history of the Raleigh area. Also, your enthusiasm in your presentation, clear examples, handout info, etc.

Sylvia Weaver and I attended your Freedmen's Bureau presentation. After learning just how vast and dissembled the information is--yet a rich source of genealogical info--we were very impressed with the comprehensive overview you provided despite its disorganization. Well done! We hope you'll speak again for us when you find a subject you'd like to present. Thanks for the handout!

I enjoyed your talk on so many levels I scarcely know where to begin! You were informative without ever being condescending. You managed to make minute details captivating and engaging. Your graphics were phenomenal. In short, you are highly gifted at what you do!

Diane did a great job presenting a lot of information without being overwhelming. She showed many interesting examples and demonstrated how the records would be useful. Her handout includes all of the resources and details one needs to learn more and to access the records.
