The Newton Nomadic Theater regularly hosts nights of storytelling called the Nomad Story Slam. From time to time I dive into the archive of 100’s of stories that have been told at the Nomad Story Slam over the last six years and pull out one of my favorites.
At last March’s event the theme was “comfort zone‘. Noah Rivken, Mayor Fuller’s Executive Aide, came and told a great story about taking a class in New York. Noah was definitely pushing the edges of his own personal comfort zone that month. A few weeks later Noah shipped off to Quantico as a new recruit in the US Marines. We look forward to more stories when he returns,
By a weird and wonderful coincidence, it turns out that Noah just graduated from US Marines Officer Training Academy this weekend. Better yet, City Councillor Jim Cote was there and forwarded these photos.
I absolutely loved Noah’s story! And his telling of the story. Thanks, Jerry, for pointing us to this. To those who haven’t seen it, you’re really missing something! Take ten minutes and sit back. Or sit forward… Don’t miss a word or a facial gesture.
(And by the way, we miss Noah and wish him well!)
Loved Noah’s story ! Thanks for sharing … and oh btw Noah just graduated this weekend from The US Marine Corp officer training academy. Congrats Noah! Semper Fi
I just added photo’s (above) of Noah’s USMC Academy graduation this weekend, thanks to Councillor Jim Cote.
