Told by Willy Claflin
My dad got this all started – he told me stories every single night from about age 3 to 10. This is my favorite story about my dad, told at the 2010 National Storytelling Conference in Los Angeles; he would have loved participating in it with us. Hope you can join us for “A Conference to Remember” at the 2012 National Storytelling Conference in Cincinnati, June 28-July 1: www.storynet.org/conference/index.html.
