to Marty's Mom,
Virginia Dow Richmond
who passed away
February 17, 2002

She will always be gently and fondly remembered as the elegant lady from Boston, a fine wife, mother, and grandmother, and a sincere friend to so many.
She lived for more than 90 years, and we are all grateful for the rich time and love she gave to each of us.

Perseus, Hero of Ancient Greece finally opened in Portland at the Delores Winningstad Theatre on Friday, February 22, 2002.

Tears of Joy has been presenting Perseus at schools all over the northwest since October or so, and also performed it in Vancouver, WA last week. So, they've seen it a lot, but we haven't. It was odd but exciting to see the puppets once again after such a long wait.

Steve, Marty, and Bill were in attendance, along with Nancy Aldrich and Janet Bradley of Tears of Joy Theatre, as well as many members of the Columbia Association of Puppeteers.

It was grand to finally see the finished production in the big theatre.

We were asked to do an exhibit of puppets we have built in the lobby of the theatre, and that's what most of this page is about.
