Anyway, they needed some 'filler' acts from time to time during costume changes, at Youth Firesides and the like. Cris had memorized "Casey at the Bat" for a high school class and he and his fellow dancers decided to crank it up a notch and have him perform it as a Little Man. It takes two people and some staging. This particular performance is at the 2002 Jeppson Reunion in McCall. Kevin and cousin JD are helping hold the props and those are my arms. (You had to be there--but it was hilarious)
He will be fondly remembered by nieces, nephews and the older grandchildren as the supreme CASEY AT THE BAT. Thanks for the shout out Landee.

Cris was THE man!
He. Is. So. Adorable!!!!!
Obviously I can never even THINK about that poem without thinking about UV the Midget. I think that when he did that when I was about 7 or 8 it was the first time I had ever even heard that poem. The fact that the mighty Casey had struck out pierced my soul. WHAT???
Love him & love you.
Definitely one of my all-time favorite memories of you two!
Why oh why isn't there video of this?!
Cris was a handsome devil. He reminds me of his grandson, Brains. Spitting image almost. It's uncanny.
