March 22 was a special day at the Friends Meeting House in Davis, Calif. I did my slideshow presentation for yet another packed house and sold out of books again, then we did the Q&A session with Vlad Dupre, 93 years old and the former executive secretary of the Fine Arts at Waldport. Vlad shared his memories, told some hilarious stories, and the day finished with a gathering of his family and friends, highlighted by his son David Potts-Dupre playing his latest songs. Check out David’s music here.

All told, it was a hugely rewarding day — special thanks to Julia, Marilee, and Julie for making it happen. We’re looking forward to more shows in the San Francisco Bay Area later this year!
