The Pacific Palisades Woman’s Club will celebrate this month of presidents’ birthdays with a special program on Tuesday, February 8. Peter M. Small, a historical impressionist, will appear costumed as George Washington to bring our first president’s accomplishments to life. His performance will separate fact from myth, in vignettes ranging from the cherry tree incident to crossing the Delaware River. Small has presented his engaging history lessons at the Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Richard Nixon and Herbert Hoover presidential libraries. An adjunct instructor for the North Orange County Community College District, he has performed as Thomas Jefferson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Thomas Edison and even Golda Meir. The History Channel and KTTV-TV’s ‘Midday Sunday’ have showcased his work. The program is free and will begin at 11:45 a.m., followed at 12:30 p.m. by a special Chinese luncheon for $10. For luncheon reservations, call Judy Grosh at (310) 454-7144 by February 5.
