    my web site will soon be renasmall.Com
    love your ideas,
    did my own shows with ivonne Rainer at Cal Arts
    in 1975–
    if I wasn’t 52 years old, a full deck of cards,
    and exhausted from the heat and smoke hovering
    over my house in rpv, as Catalina is burning,
    i will be at the show,
    break a leg, but how about an egg!
    Matthew referred me to see your show, your
    film guy….

    Charles, we were glad to have seen you at the book fair and be able to come to this event. It was a fabulous presentation and very informative.The show was a reminder of what each of us had experienced during that era and how funny (& dysfunctional) every family through their camera’s eye was. We are very proud of what you have accomplished. Thank you for all that you do to keep this part of history alive! The Hollidays
    P.S We live in history through our home, it was built in 1958 and is called the “Cinderella” track house in Claremont.

  5. Kathy La Force Says:

    Hi Charles,
    Your show was terrific!
    Thanks for the belly laughs and nostalgia.
    Got a few good shots of you and guests- Would you like
    some via e-mail?
    Kathy La Force

  6. Tim Severs Says:

    I hope you had a good turnout. This is an appropriate slide as many folks travel this time of year. That would be funny and cool at the same time if someone actually showed up to one of your shows with the exact same car and trailer.
