David Carlyon Lecture (From Deborah Grosmark)

I drove about an hour north, and attended the lecture. He spoke for 2 hours, and there were about 20 people. David and I hit it off right away (prior to the lecture). It ended up that we spoke about Dan Rice for almost 2 additional hours, after his lecture while enjoying some iced tea. I took 6 pages of notes and he signed my book (I have a used copy). He just e-mailed me, and it seems we have started a working relationship! He is witty, smart, well versed and just delightful. He is in the middle of trying to publish another book, and writing another one about clowning. Honestly, I could never had had such a wonderful conversation if it had not been for Jim sharing archives, circus stories, and the CFA crossword puzzle last month (Hey Rube etc...)! Thank you so much, and here is a photo of David that I shot during his lecture (on the First of May)!

I had no idea. You should have joined our game Saturdays between shows, with the King Charles Troupe and me. Dave
