I had the pleasure of taking his meet and greet workshop and seeing him perform his 'apple trick' more than a couple times when I was working at RPFS. He was indeed a fine performer and I regret that I never took the opportunity to get to know him. All too often we act as though the people around us will always be there. But it's times like this that remind me that I've been away for over ten years now, and that life moves on whether we pay attention or not. I can only hope that I left a fraction of the impact that he did on those who I worked and played with. You will indeed be sorely missed, Gaffer.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122634764463933929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17881835.post-83803299945886394252013-07-03T13:06:27.797-07:002013-07-03T13:06:27.797-07:00Thank you for sharing the love for Roger "Gaf...Thank you for sharing the love for Roger "Gaffer" Russell. He is such a beloved member of our Faire Community. There are not many educators of his level any longer. I hope those who see this tribute here will remember his legacy and be inspired to leave their own "mark" on the world.

With his permission, and making sure that I gave him credit, for years, I used his Apple Trick as the closing to my magic show. Everyone loved it, and he was a truly genuine person. I am truly blessed and a better person for have met him.
