Thank you again for entertaining the children at the Clarion Free Library."

"Bruce,
I want to take a moment to thank you for a wonderful experience
from last Saturdays show.  Your professionalism and skill made the whole
experience both delightful and simple.  Your show was fantastic and the
children could not stop talking about it all through the weekend.
Robert is a very bashful boy but you really helped bring him out of his
shell for the day and I cannot thank you enough!  I am certain it will
be a birthday he will never forget.
I would never hesitate to recommend you to anyone of my friends
or family.  I look forward to possibly using your services again in the future.
Thank you again, and sincerely, you are a fantastic showman and a
master of your trade.
Sincerely,
Chad W. Earley"  (April 2006)

"Dear Bruce,
Thanks for the wonderful performance from you and your friends at the Woodhull Community Day.  Everybody (young and old) truly enjoyed your friends’ personalities and sense of humor.  Even last night at the committee meeting, I heard two old men giggling about your show.   One was saying to the other he enjoyed the ventriloquist’s show above all the other activities of the day.  Praise the power of humor.  I hope we can talk you and your friends into coming back to visit with us.  I’ll keep you updated on future activities in our little town.
Thanks again for your creative spirit and assistance with our community celebration."
