It's hard to express the feeling I had when I was told today of Doug Henning's passing. A part of my magical life is gone. I met Doug only once, as a kid in Pittsburgh, for an autograph at the backstage door of Heinz Hall. I never had the opportunity to get to know Doug personally, but his work has touched and inspired me for life. Looking back, I can see that so much of what I strive to achieve as an entertainer I learned from Doug Henning. Magic with Doug Henning was fun. That's what it was about...the simple, amazing feeling of "wonder", as he called it. Doug didn't try to fool us....Doug experienced the wonder WITH us! And I can never thank him enough for that. Thank you Doug. Thank you for the wonder.
