I wonder if you know the "All or Nothing" story? The "legend" I know is from south Texas, but probably told about many caves, abandoned mines, etc.
Cesario comes upon a cave, goes inside, finds treasure chest filled with gold nuggets, starts to f...

Recently retired from my work as an educational specialist in a museum, I've gone into freelance storytelling full time--well, as full as I can make it. I tell folktales and legends from around the world to audiences of all ages, but I market primarily to elementary schools. I love my city of San Antonio and the small towns around it from the Hill Country to the Texas coast!

It was so nice to talk to you the other day. I received my directory and wish I was closer so I could hear some of the "good ole Texas telling". However I do enjoy the storytellers in this area.
Greetings! I hope you find Professional Storyteller useful and informative. I sure do! Won't you consider participating in the "Applied Storytelling: the Power of Story" group? We would love to have you! Best wishes. STEVE
Are you saying you want me to dress as a turkey? I'm glad I can be so useful here! - can't work out how I missed signing up earlier. But no, I haven't been on this Ning group for long. Thanks for the generous welcome. (Just don't come near me with that oven.)
What a great site PS has become and what a great community of tellers. Forgive me for being so late in greeting you. Recently my heart decided to throw a little surprise party at the emergency room... not a heart attack just Pericarditis (non-lethal... only painful condition). I am recovering nicely, was able to go ahead and get married and move. So you might forgive my late greeting. Hope you join some of the groups... mine will pick back up as I get more settled into our new routines. Anyway... welcome to PS and I hope you learn to love it and this wonderful collection of tellers as much as I do.
Mary Grace, Good to know you are still out there telling tales. I am recently retired as well and am on the road this week consulting in Cedar Rapids Iowa and Grand Prairie TX. Have several irons in the fire and am not sure yet where the storytelling comes in (but told at least two tales today during my workshop.) Kepp me posted on your work.
