London, England: Lisa Sturz, of Fairview’s Red Herring Puppets, took a break from creating fanciful, whimsical puppets this winter tovisit Buckingham Palace in London. We think it is Lisa, but upon closer inspection, it might be one of her creations…the Queen Mother puppet reading the Fairview Town Crier? *

South Plaza, Galapagos Islands: Lina Evans and Ira Sloan recently completed a 3-week tour of Peru, Machu Picchu and the Galapagos Islands. Pictured here on the Galapagos Island of South Plaza, Lina and Ira read the Town Crier while discussing evolution as their ship (pictured in the background) sails away without them. They concluded three things: (1) The animals on the islands are evolving daily; (2) Never read the Town Crier when you have a schedule to keep and (3) Although the animals show extensive evolution, they have not evolved nearly as much as the Town Crier (however, some may say the latter has been by intelligent design). *
