The Cast of Characters...

Our every gracious hosts, the D'Alcorn's, at Jingles Jungle.

Britian's David McLeod again presented his running series on Keaton features, this year is was "Seven Chances".



Virgil Noble's presentation on the Cutlers - Buster's Mother's side of the family was outstanding...

As was the presentation on "The General" by Ted Keaton III.

The annual auction included shots of Keaton in uniform - both large and small.


Saturday concluded with a performance by the West End Jazz Band at the glorious Frauenthal Theater.


And, of course, the incredible Dennis Scott at the Barton Theater Organ, performing for Keaton's Masterpiece, "The General".



(Someone, please, send along a better photograph - my camera isn't that skilled at stopping the action!)
