Scenes Before the Stone Soup Retrospective Rehearsal

The Stone Soup Retrospective at the Massachusetts Poetry Festival was an amazing experience.  Everything that needed to be said and done happened.  We put in a lot of work, as can be seen with the scenes in the Hawthorne Hotel lobby with Carol Weston, James Van Looy and Dan Shanahan a couple of hours before we even got into the room.  Props to John Galloway, seen in the very first photo below in full winter gear because he was sick.

James and Dan

Dan, Carol and James, the whole band.

Also a special appearance by Margaret Nairn and her husband.  

Margaret also provided some useful information and work we were able to add on.

Carol, pretending to be less ready than she actually was.

Definitely grabbed a copy.

James was invaluable in his ability to identify everyone in each PowerPoint slide.

I believe here Carol is rehearsing the poem she read in the final part.
