Casey is first and foremost a curious student of the human experience. Some of his favorite teachers are (in no particular order) his 8 children, 2 grandchildren, his wife of 28 years and JRR Tolkien. Although much of his time is spent delivering mail for the postal service, he dreams of traveling the US and becoming a full time writer/storyteller. Casey has been with Stories R Us for 3 years and this is his 5th time sharing.

Margaret Daly is a cellist. She reads a lot, and is quite good-natured.

Tom Reilly is an education technology leader, dad, and lover of the outdoors. He began his storytelling career in high school to explain his whereabouts to his mom. Tom has since told stories with The People Tree, Let Me Tell You, Teller's Night, This Much is True, and As I was Saying.

Karen Scott moved to Lockport in March 2023 after having lived in Maryland for almost 30 years, where she worked as an education specialist in Washington DC for the US Environmental Protection Agency. Karen worked in education her whole career, starting in elementary education in public schools and the US Peace Corps, as well as adult education for the US Army, and in evening schools, community colleges, and workplace literacy programs. She is now retired and lives with 3 cats near her son and daughter-in-law and 3 grandchildren, which has been delightful, but she misses her daughter in Baltimore.
