Video Description:

Ricky Syers is an off-beat 50 year old street performer who found his calling as a puppeteer after a lifetime of manual labor. While performing in New York City’s Washington Square Park, he met Doris Diether, an 86 year old community activist. They became friends and he made a marionette that looks just like her. Now she’s joined his act and the two of them can often be seen performing together.

    pretty neat stuff, I hope he can continue to live as he wants nothing worse than hating to get up and go to something you really don't want to. Life is so short. And she's a super neat lady!
