Also part of every promotional circus that visited a town were the appearances. I showed Julie Webb and others making their appearances (everyone usually would not come at the same time in order for there to be many, many, many events for the press to report on, rather than just one big one - smart!). Here Tom Laughlin is making his rounds that almost always included local colleges, audiences, radio stations, newspapers, TV, etc., etc., etc. It never stopped.
Tom speaking was a win-win-win: he’s an incredible speaker - smart, engaging, with new perspectives, the kids and audiences loved him, and he loves to speak.
I’m fascinated by some of the minor visuals inside these old photos. I’ve included a couple of closeups from the last image in the theater of bits I found interesting:
