In my 32 years of performing there are just too many to address.

@April Brucker you're being so sweet. On February 10th I will turn 75. I will let you do the math.

Each month for the past six months I have been performing for the Helping Hands Tutoring for students in first to third. This month the puppets and I have taught them how different places around the world celebrate New Year. As for therapy, I have had articles written about my work with Alzheimer patients including teaching psychologists and doctors in the use of puppetry with their patients. When I show up with a character at an Alzheimer ward, the patients tell their whole life story to the puppet where they won't to their doctors. The truly amazing thing that happens when I return in a month is that the patients welcome the puppet when I get off the elevator. They also start up with where they left off a month ago. I've been written up in articles by AARP and Johnson and Johnson and the AMA because of my work has now classified Alzheimer as not a disease but a mental block because the patients are able to turn it on and off where if it was a disease, they wouldn't be able to do that.

@April Brucker I guess you could call it that. I'll tell you that they use a whole lot more of them instead of the personal kind.

@April Brucker it gives you the luxury of moving around greatly. The only thing you have to be careful about is if you are coming from a location using a mic and walking under these hanging mics because you will get a loud feedback.

Right now most of my shows are at the Sierra Vista United Methodist Church for the Children's Moment and monthly at Helping Hands Tutoring. I'm also set up for performances in Phoenix later this year and various private and public venues in and around the Sierra Vista and Tombstone areas.

I like both types. Depending on what the customer wants for their event, that's what they get. Personally I like the soft characters because you can do more facial expressions with them.
