Lettie Connell Schubert
I attended my first Puppeteers of America National Festival in 1993. The week-long event was held in San Francisco, and although I could only attend for a few days, the experience left an indelible impression on me. One of the many people who made the festival something to remember was Lettie Connell Schubert.
I didn't know it at the time, but Lettie was one of the most influential and involved members of the puppeteer community. She signed me and my brother Sean up as festival exhibit monitors and made suggestions about which shows and workshops to attend to maximize our festival experience.
As I think about all the wonderful opportunities I've had in my puppetry career, I attribute many of them to the things I learned at that festival. Lettie passed away on March 21, but I will never forget her enthusiasm and support.

I'll post the nest installment of my interview with Ed Eyth on Monday.
