<div class="entry-summary">Last Thursday, on a dark and snowy night, the Greenwich Historical Society (GHS) was host to a number of Greenwich folk drawn to the flame of story telling.

Acting as emcee was stand-up comedienne Bonnie Levison, a GHS board member who brought the storytelling idea to the GHS.

After "hitting the Internet" and clicking onto Match.com, she met her first blind date at Polpo Restaurant "at the elder people's seating -- at 6 -- in daylight."

On another dinner date at Mediterraneo Restaurant on Greenwich Avenue "where the tables are six-inches apart," conversation came to a stop, she said, when she found her gynecologist sitting at the next table.

Guests at the Story Barn nibbled on popcorn and pretzels, and sipped cider, wine and beer as other storytellers told their five-minute tales, including actress Nancy Thode sharing tales of her southern childhood, Matt Bernard, his Belle Haven history, Patricia Chadwick and her Brenda Frazier story, Gideon Fountain's tales of his silent film star grandmother, Leatrice Joy, Irishman Jerry Judge's tale of Prince Charles and singer/dancer Audrey Appleby reliving unhinged Paris nights.

[...] a year ago Duncan stopped eating, including his favorite, Evertsberg's wife's grilled cheese sandwich.

The trained theologian began questioning, I wonder if God cares about dogs.

Master storyteller Terry Betteridge, fresh from snowed-in Vail, Colorado, from refitting one of his jewelry store branches, told of his calamitous love life at age 17.

Parked at midnight by a "little pond," out "Mrs. Kelsey's" way, with the seats back "and the windows steaming," his girl says, "It's getting light!"

A proud Culvahouse sat by the road breathing a sign of relief, when a policeman appeared.

Steve Eggers introduced himself as the cartoonist "Bobbi Egger's husband," and brought the evening's theme back to human love speaking of his ongoing passion for his wife.</div></div>]]>
