Raking in the laughs

From Harris Deutsch:

Your novelty puppets have inspired my over the years to see potential puppets everywhere. Here's one of the puppets I wrote about last month.
In June we shared "Splish Splash, the Puppets Were Taking a Bath", at area libraries. As I mentioned, I took the Maher Course back when it was on tape cassette. Puppetry is a great connector. I have shared my nearly normal puppets from preschools to prisons. I got special permission to bring some of my props to Lansing Correctional Facility, when I worked there as a counselor. It took pulling a few strings, but finally I was able to bring them in.
These days we are combining music more with our Doctor of Laughology Programs. The newest addition is the Nursery Rhyme Blues.

    Thank you, Harris Deutech for inspiring me! I have had a long handled, plastic "Popper Scooper" sitting in my basement with some very sharp teeth for much too long a time. I am thinking maybe a Dinosaurs, or a scary fish. It is such a natural, with a trigger in the handle to open and close the mouth. By Jingo! Because of you Sir, I'm gonna work on it, and soon, you betcha!
    Thanks Again! Joe "Capt.Joe" Radle
