In Memory of John Wise (1931-2004) |
|
| John and Brenda - always together - always
working together. At exercises, competitions and CU Conference.
His complex make-up for the major CU competitions. At Conferences,
John's patience, when trying to demonstrate complicated make-up, answering
questions thrown at him from the audience. |
Gordon & Joy Schreiber |
| I shall treasure forever the video footage
I took of John and his wonderful make-up demonstrations, with anecdotes
and jokes in that lovely west country voice, making light out of what is
actually an unpleasant art-form, and inspiring us to get interest and fun
out of our work with Casualties Union |
