Vernon Cox is the story teller Learnin’ Vernon

teller of legends, lore, and a whole lot more.

Drawing on voice characters, audience participation, laughter and drama, Vernon grew up in Bar Harbor Maine where his love of stories began. As a parent raising his daughter Shanna in Orland he refined his tales at many a scout campfire. Vernon spent the third Saturday of every month as a reader and performer for the Buck Memorial Library’s Story Hour in Bucksport Maine. He now lives in Westbrook Maine with his wife Bobbie and their golden retriever Daisy.

As story teller Learnin’ Vernon, he has entertained audiences from Presque Isle, Maine to *Hollywood California

He has been an Air Force medic, cook, custodian, mental health worker, electrician, volunteer firefighter, E.M.T. and a lifetime member of Girl Scouts. It is through all of these memories that Vernon draws for his tales. He has learned that every day a new journey begins and a new experience unfolds.

That is why he shall always remain

                          a Learnin’ Vernon!

 

 

*Hollywood!

 Ok truth is I was there for a taping of the Pyramid show and they asked for talent between takes as an audience warm up. I told "Prinderella" to the delight of the studio audience which included its host. No money exchanged hands but my wife personally met Donnie Osmond and shook his hand and that was priceless!.
