“Len could come up with ways of making us picture everything vividly in our minds and as the scenery or setting changed, your mind would sort of click like a camera, and focus on the next picture.”

‘”I’ve been our cultural council representative for the last four years and I’ve booked many different people, from the Museum of Science to other groups, and I’ve been waiting to have the chance to have you back. With your charisma and the power of your performance, you are able to captivate our students more than any other act, who often bring more bells and whistles.” – Kara, Parent
