“Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable evening of storytelling with Dig the West at our Fox Branch Library this summer. As always, your stories were engaging, told with great theatrics, and presented just the right look at the topic at hand. I know you had the audience right with you throughout the evening. You remain the storyteller we most often recommend to other schools and libraries. Please keep us posted as you develop new programs.”
Judi Pardis, Program Coordinator. Robbins Library, Arlington MA
