Dale Carnegie Training Memorialized Alongside Walt Disney And Other Famous Missourians

JEFFERSON CITY, MO (Monday, September 11, 2006) - After years of offering advice and business solutions to industry leaders, the legendary Dale Carnegie will be honored alongside American influencers such as Harry S. Truman, Walt Disney and Mark Twain as his bust is unveiled in the Hall of Famous Missourians at the Missouri State Capitol building on September 13, 2006.

As the author of the perennially best-selling How To Win Friends and Influence People and founder of Dale Carnegie Training, Mr. Carnegie is considered by many to be the father of the self-improvement movement. "It is a great honor for Dale Carnegie to be in the company of such luminaries," said Peter Handal, chairman, president and CEO of Dale Carnegie Training. "As this year marks the celebration of the 70th anniversary of How To Win Friends and Influence People, we find this tribute to be even more significant as we reflect on the long-term influence Dale Carnegie continues to make around the world."

Mr. Carnegie's strongest supporters include Missouri State Representatives Terry Swinger and David Pearce. "This event is a culmination of a two-year effort to highlight the amazing accomplishments of Dale Carnegie, one of Missouri's brightest sons," said Rep. Pearce. "With this unveiling, we pay homage to Mr. Carnegie as a source of inspiration to Missourians and Americans everywhere." A Dale Carnegie course graduate, Rep. Swinger added, "Dale Carnegie's training courses provided the necessary foundation to build my career as a public representative. We're proud to honor him and his accomplishments and place him alongside other top Missourians."

The Missouri Capitol Society created the Hall of Famous Missourians in 1982 to honor its greatest citizens. Occupying the third floor rotunda area of the Capitol, the Hall is a collection of bronze busts depicting these great Missourians. Dale Carnegie will mark the twenty-fifth addition.
