The Storyteller
Dennis R. Sutcliffe
For over 14 years, Dennis R. Sutcliffe — retired executive, local historian, wit, and master storyteller — has been rekindling forgotten Cleveland memories.
His live programs are entertaining, multimedia journeys through Cleveland's past — from the mob wars of the 1970s to the birth of Rock and Roll, from beloved TV personalities to the Y2K scare. Each program is equal parts history lesson and a great time.
Dennis presents to community centers, senior centers, public libraries, historical societies, church groups, and clubs throughout the Cleveland, Akron, Lake, Geauga, Lorain and Medina County areas.

Supporting the A-T Children's Project
All proceeds from Dennis's Lost Cleveland Memories programs are used to fund the work of the A-T Children's Project.
Dennis and his wife Mary have five beautiful grandchildren. Two of their grandsons — Dylan and Sean — have been diagnosed with ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T), an extremely rare genetic disease that causes progressive loss of muscle control, immune system problems, and a high rate of cancer. The younger boy Sean, age 15, passed away in May of 2026 after a long battle with respiratory problems.
Because A-T is so rare, it receives little attention and even less funding. The A-T Children's Project was started to raise funds for research and life-improving therapies for children with A-T.
As of June 2026, Lost Cleveland Memories® has raised over $60,000 for the A-T Children's Project.
