Heather Adams, John's daughter, was four years old at the time most of these pictures were taken. She thought up on her own at least six of the plays. At that time Heather attended elementary school at The Gerry School, Marblehead, Mass. Heather is now a number of years older and attends the Shore Country Day School in Beverly, Mass. In addition to her school sports, Heather loves participating in gymnastics at Yellow Jackets, her local club.
