Hello all,
I don't post here very often...sorry about that, but I do check in from time to time. Some of you may know me from my Ventriloquism 101.com website, which has been online for almost 16 years now. I would not typically post this type of message (and I hope I'm not breaking any rules), but to those of you interested in the art of ventriloquism, I thought it important. Many of you also know of Clinton Detweiler, who owned Maher ventriloquist studios for nearly 40 years. He has been a friend of mine for a really long time. Some of you may also know that Clinton, in an effort to give something back to the vent community (other than the fact that his course taught literally thousands of folks how to be a ventriloquist) something that would be collectible and beautiful. He has so far released 2 sets of wonderful, large, high polished brass coins in his "Hall of Fame" coin series. The first set featured the founder of Maher Studios, Fred Maher. Also Senor Wences, Edgar Bergen and Jimmy Nelson. Set two features Terry Fator, Jay Johnson, Mark Wade and Jim Barber. The reason for my post is that for the series to continue, coin sets need to be sold to fund the next set. Clinton is taking zero profit from the coin sales. All monies go to produce the next set. I am asking all vents, vent/magicians, and anyone interested in the art of ventrilloquism to please consider purchasing the Hall of Fame coins so that Clinton can realize his dream of releasing as many in the series as possible. And again, the only way the project will continue with future sets is dependant on folks investing in the sets as they are released. If you haven't seen or heard about the HOF coins, please visit Clinton's blog page here that tells about them (with some great photos and comments of people who have purchased sets): http://hofcoins.blogspot.com/ They really are extremely high quality and beautiful coins that would be a treasured addition to your vent/magic collection. Please help support the project if you can. Thanks. Regards, Lee Cornell |

This is a cause that needs to be supported. "Treasured keepsakes" for sure.
