Dr. Droge and Mr. Darwin

Last night my colleague Dale Droge portrayed a man celebrating his 200th birthday, Mr. Charles Darwin, Beagle voyager and barnacle collector. Also, the author of some books that have caused a bit of a stir.

It was a pleasant evening with a good turnout of supporters and a small contingent of detractors. All was handled with aplomb and grace.

Thank you, Dr. D, for getting this presentation together to give us a glimpse at a man whose name became an -ism, encouraged by a lot of -ists.

More such portrayals would be welcome!
