And now, a word from our sponsor…
I was recently asked what prompted this donation. It’s simple. It started with the biggest truck I ever saw in my life unloading more rice than I had ever seen. This at the Skirball?
I made some inquiries and was told it was Stan’s calf. Who is Stan and why is he bringing a calf and rice to the Skirball? Further information, led me to the exhibit Of All The People………….
It was Amazing! Impressive! Emotional! Funny! Frightening! Educational! It was a way at looking at the world and all of us in it using a clever tool. It put a different perspective on a whole lot of things. It also put a whole lot of things into perspective. I was enthralled but it was there for way too short a time for the public to even know it had come before it had gone. It had to be shared.
What to do? Shockingly, I contacted the Skirball. They didn’t call me. I called them. I asked what it would cost to bring the exhibit back for a month. They told me. I fainted. I had never given even 1/10 of that cost to anything or anyone. I gave it deep thought for about 30 seconds, called the bank and wrote the check.
Now you too can share my experience.

Well Nonny, thank you. When we got news from the Skirball that someone, you, as it turns out, wanted to get us and the show back we were shocked and flattered. A more formal message will reach you via the Skirball in time (when we’ve stopped frantically weighing out rice), but for now we’ll use this forum to say Thank You, your belief in the show means an great deal to us. We’re working hard to repay your faith. We hope you enjoy it and hope that the crowds come flocking.
