Thank you, Mark, for your passionate endorsement of Puppeteers of America. 
I've only been a member since 1990 and joined because I wanted to meet other 
like minded artists, and also to further the Art of Puppetry.

I guess I've found that like any organization of humans there are 
disagreements. I belong to a number of groups where there's "always 
something". Some people term this politics, but I've seen that most of it is 
personalities. But the result is the same.

I really appreciate your point, though, that we all have a common interest 
in puppetry and a common goal in the furtherance of this creative art.

If you are not a member, consider joining. www.puppeteers.org and follow the 
links to membership.

If you are a member, thank you.

Wayne Krefting
Puppeteers of America
President
