Just got back from the George West StoryFest's 20th Anniversary, and had a grand time; wonderful kids, and a great reception at a local church where 5 of us shared this morning.
What've you been up to since March 25?!

My name is Penny Walter and I am a puppeteer in Portland Oregon.
Buck Creacy told me about you and after reading your "About Me" I think we have a lot of things in common. Very excited/thrilled to meet you.

Long time no hear, how are you?
Staying busy - crazy busy - trying to stay up with the carrying-ons all over this site!? (Me, too)
Hope all is well with you, business is booming, I trust - please drop a line from time to time so I won't worry (sometimes I may be prone to worry, if left incommunicado....)
Thanks for swinging by!
More, later -

I was a member of POA in the 70's but let my membership expire when I took a "regular job." My storytelling started back then too, but it was as a volunteer at a local library in New Jersey. I never lost my love of story and puppets (and magic) throughout the years, these skills just were not my primary interest. With five children, I seemed to always have some reason to tell stories, bring out my puppets or do a little magic show. I also worked as a performing and teaching clown before this was popular and folks could go to Ringling Brothers to learn the art. Clowning is the only work I have really retired, although I have found that the skills I honed as a clown (timing, reading an audience, etc.) have served me well as a storyteller. In 1996 I decided to try my hand as a full-time storyteller, and I have not looked back since. What joy! I wish I had never been lured into the 9 to 5 world now that I know how much fun it is to tell stories and "live on the edge."
How about you?
