Yes! 149 Years Old
Dear Stephanie,
You are right. I am 149 years old !!!!! For the past 19 years I have been presenting shows for youngsters, but most of my life I was a Prospector. Do your know what a Prospector does ?

Dear Krista, April, Andrew:
First, I can't answer your question about calling you on stage right now. Andrew, try to figure out my age, I know you can do it. Oh, and Andrew that was a cute idea about Simon trying to get a pie, BUT that's not what happens. And I can't make the show any longer !!! Besides you should be happy and thankful for all the time you have in class--you get to learn such neat things and gain knowledge.
Your friend,
Prospector Parker
Yes, you'll see the show on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. My
musical is based on a Mother Goose nursery rhyme. See if you can find
it and read it-that will give you a little bit of an idea about the
play.
See you then.

Thanks for your notes. John, you should be able to figure out the age, especially if you like Math. Andrew got it right !!!
I was a Prospector, Andrew, for as long as I can remember, but I retired in 1978 to start my theatre. I love doing shows for young people.
The conflict: hint--Simple Simon has a bag of gold, but he doesn't understand how valuable it is !!! Any ideas now ? John, 8 AM is an early time to start school, but I must admit most days I am awake and working by 6AM !!!!!
Only 4 weeks to go and I'll be at Delmar !!
Your friend,
Prospector Parker
