Robert J. Burdette
Robert J. Burdette, often known as The Burlington Hawk-Eye Man, had a gentle sense of humor
that somehow or other managed to be hysterically funny without being even slightly offensive.
He delivered his lecture "The Rise and fall of the Mustache" to packed houses well over three thousand times over the
course of thirty years. Most of his stories hold up well today. Give them a listen and enjoy a good laugh.
