Presenting throughout North America, he addresses issues relating to teaching, writing, thinking, spelling, and music with clarity, insight, practical experience, and humor. His best endorsement is from a young Alaskan boy who called him "the funny man with the wonderful words." He and his beautiful, heroic wife Robin currently teach their four youngest children at home in Atascadero, California. Our Featured Speaker is Jim Weiss. storyteller for over 25 years. He and his wife, Randy, formed a production company, Greathall Productions, and have thus far produced 40 storytelling recordings with enticing titles from classical literature, such as Greek Myths, King Arthur and Sherlock Holmes.
