Warren D. Jorgensen wrote in American Profile Magazine July 3-9, 2005, "As students and parents gather at the town hall in Peterburgh, N.Y. (pop. 1,563) Fred Polnisch gets into character as Uncle Sam, donning a red, white and blue top hat, tails and striped trousers.
Then, in story and song, Polnisch brings American history to life, carrying the audience along on Paul Revere’s ride in 1775, and to the deck of a ship where Francis Scott Key was inspired to write the Star Spangled Banner.
Polnisch, of Clifton Park, N.Y. (pop. 32,995), has been wearing the colorful suit during performances at school and civic functions since retiring as a General Electric engineer in 1992."
