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.
