Freeport resident and Abraham Lincoln Impersonator George Buss is a 6th generation Illinoisian, whose family arrived in Stephenson County in 1847. For fifteen years, Buss and his good friend, the late Rich Sokup, interpreted Lincoln and Douglas through an original script authored by Rich nearly 400 times for local, state and national audiences. They were joint recipients of national honors from the Association of Lincoln Presenters and the Freeport Area Chamber of Commerce. Since Rich’s passing, George continues interpreting Lincoln using Rich’s script as a basis for his presentations. George is not only known for his ability to interpret Lincoln, he is also President of the Stephen Douglas Association, Vice President of the Lincoln Douglas Society, and Board Member of the Lincoln Fellowship of Wisconsin and the Lincoln Forum Board of Advisors.
