Dear Doc and all,
I won't ever forget that weekend, the weekend I fell in love with all the things we are all still in love with. And I remember especially that Doc praised me at one point, and I thought I'd died and gone to heaven.
The DVD guy doesn't ever seem to respond to me. I've offered to send money and asked for an address and offered to send postage money, too, since I'm so far away. Doc, is there any possible way for you to put me in touch with him or to simply send me one of your 9 DVDs? I will happily pay the 50 bucks plus postage.
All my best love to everyone,
Gail

I too received the DVD's, nine of them! Don't think I ordered, paid for 9. So I'm wondering if I have some that belong to some of you. Please let us know if you have received the DVD you ordered.
Thanks,
Doc
Clayton: you are right. Today is the day. The 40th anniversary of Sh at W. There were no "carloads." Just some 15 kids and me wondering what we were doing there, getting into, beginning.
It was cold that weekend. We struggled and shivered through Much Ado scenes in the barn all day. Late Saturday evening we huddled in front of the fireplace to sing and then read "Under Milk Wood." In the morning, awakened by Angelene's bacon frying, we thought we were in paradise.

Hey everyone --
A set of reunion performance DVDs landed in my mailbox today, on what is -- if I am remembering this right -- the 40th anniversary of the first weekend trip with students to Winedale!
I was in Winedale for a bit with Doc this weekend, going through the storage area of the old Wagner's store to find props and costumes for the Second Shepherd's Play, and all was peaceful and still out there. The Barn looked lovely in the fall afternoon light. A family of deer sat in the meadow, just watching me as I walked over to get one of the benches for our little play. I tried to imagine those first carloads of students pulling up 40 years ago...
Love to all, and profound thanks and a happy anniversary to Doc and those early pioneers (Gail, you were one of them, right?), wherever they may be.
