Zany and successful Craig Snow headlines Rector Chamber banquet
Perhaps he needed only a tiny bit of encouragement to connect with audiences, big and small, the baby boy, the youngest of seven siblings, children of the late Ben and Rena Snow. A “zany, rascally guy,” Craig Snow became a larger-than-life local stage celebrity beginning with a bit part while in sixth grade, playing “little boy in the window.” Retired drama teacher Gail Burns, a superencourager, saw a diamond in the rough, a youngster with boundless potential and energy, not only for the local stage but in his life’s direction. She groomed him for larger roles and a larger stage in life. As a dynamic teacher, she encouraged his exuberant personality. By 1982, his senior year in high school, Snow was comfortable with many situations, crazy enough to go out on a limb to entertain as well as empathize and put people at ease with his effervescent smiles and charming, easy manner.
