While performing in New York City’s Washington Square Park, he met Doris Diether, an 86 year old community activist. They became friends and he made a marionette that looks just like her. Now she’s joined his act and the two of them can often be seen performing together. • SUBSCRIBE: http://bit.ly/KFywMu • About AARP: • AARP is leading a revolution in the way people view and live life after 50.
