David Shepherd, my friend and co-founder of Life-Play, turns 85 today. An improv celebration began early this morning in Belchertown—David’s marathon birthday wish for 24/7 improv and play. I can only hope that I’m half as playful when I’m David’s age!
David, it’s been wonderful to get to know you over the past eighteen months and become close friends. I’ve learned immensely from your creative instincts and your honest play. Thank you for sharing lessons from a your lifetime of play.
May your birthday wishes come true! May Life-Play be shared with the wider world and grow with evolving adventures. This morning, testing a new adventure with you, called Dream, I was reminded of a book I read I as a child, Grandfather Twilight.
You’re the theatrical grandfather I never had.
Thank you, David!
Happy Birthday!
Please join us at Life-Play in wishing David a Happy Birthday and check back for updates of the playful Birthday festivities!
Update:
… he makes the world a better place… what more can be said of a person ?
Indeed!
I’ll be posting a short video of David and photos of the party when I can locate my lost camera cord.
