Guest Speaker - Larry Wilde

Bill Bourlet introduced our speaker Larry Wilde. Larry is Director of the Carmel Institute of Humor and the author of 53 books with sales topping 12 million copies. He asked each audience member their name, place of birth an what they do. His first visit to Vancouver was in 1954 where he entertained at The Cave Supper Club. He returned 10 years later with Sonny and Cher. Here he met a lifelong friend Peter Jennings. The depression provided Larry with a tough upbringing but he survived with his humour and has been entertaining people throughout North America ever since. His talk was interspersed with lots of laughs and he ended his presentation with a delightful song combining a verse from "Life is just a Bowl of Cherries" and then swooned into "Enjoy Yourself, its Later than you Think". Jackie Reid Thanked Larry for his entertaining and informative talk saying we will all have a happier afternoon because of him. Notes this week by Kathryn Hurwitz.
