Will Rogers still ranks as one of this country’s most universally loved entertainers and speakers. He may be best remembered for saying, “I never met a man I didn’t like.” and “All I know is what I read in the newspaper.”  

Even though Will Rogers died in 1935, his legacy lives on through Randall Reeder. Much of his wit and wisdom are still current on topics such as business ethics, farm prices, and politics. Randall customizes the ‘Will Rogers’ talks for various business, agriculture, or general audiences.  He blends Will’s quotes and facts about life in the early 1900's with commentary on the news today.

Will Rogers grew up on a ranch in Indian Territory, now the state of Oklahoma. He never lost his love for the land. “There is not a better day in the world to be spent than with a lot of wise old cowmen around barbecued beef, black coffee and good 'free holy' beans.” 

In addition to speaking as ‘Will Rogers Today’, Randall writes a ‘Weekly Comments’ column which is published on his web site, www.WillRogersToday.com. (www.WillRogersToday.com.You can receive them directly by email by sending a  message to: WillRogers@aol.com.)

Randall Reeder is a native of West Virginia and  graduated from West Virginia University.

Since 1979, Randall has been on the faculty at Ohio State University in the Department of Food, Agricultural and Biological Engineering. He is a member of the National Speakers Association, American Farm Bureau, and the American Society of Agricultural Engineers.

In one of his daily articles published in hundreds of newspapers nationwide, he said, “I am just an old country boy in a big town trying to get along. I have been eating pretty regular and the reason I have been is because I have stayed an old country boy.” He also said, “We’re all ignorant, just on different subjects.”  

By coincidence there is a fellow in Columbus today who looks and talks like Will Rogers.. In his talks as ‘Will Rogers Today’ Randall blends the eternal wisdom of Will Rogers with his own knowledge of current events. And as long as Congress is in session there is no shortage of humor.
