My wife and I heard Gary tell his story "Blow the Tannery Whistle" this evening in Andrews and loved it. On the way home, she noticed the time and neither of us could believe how quickly the evening had passed. Truly a delightful experience.

Jerry,
ReplyDeleteI often wonder just what is a practical value of being a storyteller. Now, you've given me one. It is a great way to pass the time! Thank you for coming Jerry. I am pleased that at least one member of Network Writers West finally heard me tell stories.
