Hi Buttons... you don't mind me calling you buttons do you?
It's cute!
Feel free to write anytime.
I sometimes get a little busy when summer.
Funny how we seem to sit in the house so much during the colder months and then summer hits and off we go... always running and doing something..
Take Care Buttons,

Through the years I had lots of other influences including John Winslow (CJ) from Ringling who traveled with me for a season. We really enjoyed the Clowns of Russia that were touring in Atlanta area and their sponsor went broke. We provided a "free roll" (food event for clowns on the circus tour) at our house and they had a great time and loved that all 3 of our kids were clowns already and took time to invest in them, too.
Life has been an adventure. Thanks for asking..it allowed me to remember some good times.

B.N.
I'm supposed to teach a workshop at Puppet Fest Mid West. Currently I only have 2 participants signed up and I need 5 to do the peice I want to do. I'll still attend even if I don't get enough participants! Then I get to be a student!
I have quite a bit of experience writing and developing (and touring and managing...etc.) educational programs that use puppets. I'm not sure if you're asking for info on using puppets in the classroom as teaching tools or using puppet shows to convey educational messages. I know much more about the latter. What exactly is your non-profit going to be doing/wanting to accomplish?
