Description	A photograph of Tom Tichenor and marionette (string) puppeteers Mark Ketterson and Emma Hayes Wade (pictured left to right), performing in the Children's Division of the Nashville Public Library, circa 1973. Tom Tichenor began his career as a puppeteer when he was an elementary school student at Tarbox School in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1938, while attending Hume-Fogg High School, Tichenor staged a production of Puss in Boots for the Children's Division of the Nashville Public Library Main Library, beginning a fifty-year relationship with the children of Nashville. At his retirement from the Library in 1988, he donated many of his original marionettes and puppets to continue the legacy of bringing the world of puppetry to children.
