AN EXPERIENCED SPEAKER
During the past twenty years Zenith City Press publisher TONY DIERCKINS, author of over a dozen books about historic Duluth and western Lake Superior, has delivered hundreds of talks and presentations—from brief 20-minute luncheon chats to hour-long keynote addresses. During that time he has become known for the fun and fascinating information and the dozens of historic images packed into each presentation. And if you can’t find a topic that suits your event, we can create custom presentations at your request.
