Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Efficiency of Finger Puppets


My first PofA festival was in 1953 at U. of Minnesota, Minnesapolis. 
Herb Scheffel, along with many other notable puppeteers   (Milovsoroff, 
Proctors, John Shirley. Lem Williams, George Merten   from Canada, etc.,etc.) 
performed.....
Herb did wonderful finger puppet routines. 

And Paul Vincent Davis just did his delicate and fun finger/marionette combo 
ballerina for Nikki Tilroe's memorial celebration at O'Neill....
