Lollipop Kid
Dec.02, 2008
Jerry Maren, one of the dozen or so surviving Munchkins from the Wizard of Oz, at an appearance in the Columbia Heights theater. He was one of the three Lederhosen (sorta) guys (in the center) that sang ‘We represent … the Lollipop guild … the Lollipop guild … the Lollipop guild …‘. in front of Dorothy after she landed on the wicked witch’s house and the good witch showed up.

It’s an interesting shot of a figure we’ve probably all seen before. It also would be a great photo for yesterday’s theme day! He has a fascinating face, doesn’t he?

Yes I bet he’s lived an interesting life. He also had his little lady with him. If I read correctly he was the guy that organized and managed all the munchkins in the Wizard of Oz.
What was the theme, organized where?
