On November 11, 2009 two members of The Middle Tennessee
Magic Club, Blaine Little and Robert Killen, spent Veteran's
Day honoring those who have served our county by entertaining the residence and
patients at the Tennessee Veterans' Administration Hospital and Retirement
Complex in Murfreesboro.
They started with a visit to the psychiatric ward, a locked down facility. In
the Day Room Blaine and Robert performed for about 30 people. The response was
overwhelming! One of the staff members mentioned that the patients don’t get much
in the way of "live" entertainment. So the show was really appreciated.
Then Blaine & Robert went to the retirement center, mostly going from room to room.
They performed a lot of close-up magic for folks who couldn’t easily get out of
bed. There they met a man who served in World War II and was just a week away
from his 93rd birthday.
Finally they went over to the hospital itself where Blaine & Robert put on about a half hour show in one of their
day rooms.
We salute Blaine Little, who come up with the idea, and Robert Killen for their willingness to give back to those those gave so much to our country and for our freedom. Below are some photos of that memorable and magical visit.
