This reporter was performing at the `Old Way Station' (a restaurant on
the alley behind a mortuary) located near the Normandy Shopping Center when Skip would
bring his business associates or his own kids and their friends in to see the `Magic
Castle' style of magic. Tiered seating was plentiful in the Library Room where a spotlight
in the ceiling illuminated the table in the corner where I offered close-up magic to
patrons of the club that desired a little entertainment.
Skip loved magic, although not a seasoned performer, but joined the
Wizards and became, and still is, one of our strongest and valuable members. Whenever we
need a particular place to meet he usually has a good suggestion and has, personally, a
couple of his own locations available. Skip is a quiet man which belies his willingness to
step forward with ideas and assistance that benefits others. As a personal friend of
Johnny Paul he always arranged a private party so our club members could visit with John,
although John was in town especially to entertain Skip's company personnel. Skip made
several trips to Branson with various Wizards just so they could enjoy the magic shows
there. Thanks, Skip. |
