Read Aloud at a Con

"Magic" was read aloud by Roy Dotrice at the con, Great Expectations, in 1993.

How do we even begin to thank KC Clark, Ritch Brinkley, Terrylene, Roy Dotrice, Edward Albert and David Schwartz for giving so much of themselves to make everyone feel so special and a part of things?

[...]

Was it the loving tears in Roy's eyes as he shared moving passages from favorite poems just as a Father touches the hearts of his wide-eyed children? [1]

Roy gave of his special talents in an extraordinary reading session. Those who attended were treated with an exceptional treat - Father reading poems, short stories and verse. Almost like being in the tunnels and listening to the wise monarch of the community imparting words of wisdom to the younger ones. There were a few tearful moments as well, when we listened to him recite the poem by Lynette Combs that spoke of the last one in the tunnels and reminded him (Father) to blow out the candles. [2]
