Fudgie-- here is a kindly old man with funny stories to share for young and old.

Major Dale E. Payne (USMC-Retired) Serving as a greeter in his church, this grumpy old soul is fast becoming a favorite of children and adults alike.  He is so grouchy looking you can't help but laugh just looking at him!  Jeff is helping him learn to be nice.  Good luck with that, Jeff!

 Ok, so he is not the sharpest pencil in the case, but  he has an innocent charm that you are sure to love.  Simon is as simple as simple can get but you'll discover that simple is fun!

Dolly

"How are ya, doll?"  With a voice that is a cross between Fran Drescher (of  the Nanny) and Roz (the clerk in Monsters Inc.), this lively and outspoken  "gal" (not so much a lady) is sure to make you laugh out loud!

Louie Wolf

Louie is the newest member of  the Merryheart gang.  He is the brother of the "big bad wolf" and has lots of stories to tell to set the record straight about wolves.  A card-carrying member of WADL, the wolf anti-defamation league, he'll have you howling with laughter at his explanation of familiar fairy tales such as Little Red Riding Hood, or the Three Little Pigs.
