Yesterday’s blog was about the W.S. Berger Distinguished Service Awards. Bob Abdou, Al Rivera and Bob May have been performing for the children at the Cincinnati hospital on Saturday morning during the ConVENTion.
Bob Abdou sent us more information:
Bob May, Al Rivera and myself have been performing at the Cincinnati hospital since 2003 before that we were at the Shiner’s Hospital for 3 years.
Bob May was not able to make it because of family responsibility, he was truly missed, Bob’s clown antics at the show were always a hit and silly fun.
When I received this award, I leaned towards Al and said ‘this is for Jordan”

Two years ago, Steve and I were very honored to receive W.S. Berger Distinguished Service Award for our work with Ventriloquist Central.
This year’s recipients are Bob Abdou, Al Rivera, Bob May (Bob couldn’t make it this year) and Tom Crowl for their contributions to the art of ventriloquism.
Bob, Al and Bob were honored for their work they do every year performing for the children at the Cincinnati hospital.
Tom has resumed his interviews he did with my partner, Steve Hurst. Here is part four.

David Overby was nice enough to allow us to use the photos he took at the 2014 Vent Haven ConVENTion.
I think you’ll agree he took a nice variety of pictures.
