Testimonials from Recent Appearances

“One of our bigger crowds. Those that were able to make it were not disappointed. Webb Hubbell was honest, unassuming and funny. An accomplished athlete, lawyer, politician and businessman…. A witness to history, Webb has lived more lifetimes than most, experienced the highs and lows, and came through it all with a stronger faith, a deeper compassion for his fellow man and, ultimately and most importantly, the love of family.”

“I was not being generous or obfuscating  when I said this is one of the best Rotary programs I have been present for in my 18 years as a Rotarian and more than 30 years as a service club member. Karl L. McKinnon, President 2014-2015, Gastonia East Rotary Club  

 

“Webb Hubbell spoke candidly about his faith journey, which has seen him through toil and triumph, including holding executive positions in government & industry, authoring books based on his incredible life experiences, receiving a liver transplant, and surviving 21 months in federal prison…. Webb observes, “Evil may exist for a time, but it never wins.” (Thank you, Webb!) “
