All,
Reminder: I'm compiling a list of NYC-area Winedalers. Please let me know if you are in the NYC-area. So far, I've heard from Michael Barker, Sharon Gary, Sheldon Good, Mary McGlynn, Mike Mergen, John Rando, Shanna Smith and Willie Wilson. And Alice Gordon, Robert Jackson and Mary Collins, I know you're in NYC either full-time or part of the year, and, unless otherwise instructed, I will also make sure you are on the list. James Loehlin, if you are aware of any non-Ancianos (that is., Winedalers from the last decade) in NYC, please let me know or ask them to email me, and I'll add them to the list as well. And if any one living west of the Hudson will be visiting or performing in NYC (e.g., Rude Mechs), this list I'm compiling might be handy for sharing info on get-togethers or performances.
Best,
Bob

Thank you, Jerald, for remembering for all of us and remembering so well. And thank you Terry and Madge (Madge, I wished I could have met you) for your thoughtfulness for all of us, as well.
Jerald, your perfect ramble brought back so many memories. One distinct memory is of another camp, in many ways like Camp Windale. Rob knows this other camp -- Camp Grady Spruce. A "Y" camp on Possum Kingdom Lake (the best lake name ever). I was the Pioneer Unit Leader at Camp Grady Spruce for the first half of the summer of '75, cramming in all the plays we had to read, between rain hikes and after-hours beer at the haystack. The year before, when Nixon resigned on that summer day in '74 -- as Jerald recalls -- many of us CGSers had been on an extended 3-day trip down the Brazos, wholly unaware of the event. Days before, we had been cheering Sam Irwin on as he put it to Tricky Dick in the Senate hearings. (The Graford Trumpet would bury any mention of the Watergators while plugging the Graham Gophers' Grahamcracker Jamboree on the front page.) Anyway, after three days on the river, at the end of our trip, Dick Whittington hiked up and got the Chevy Carryall parked under the Mineral Wells Bridge. The radio still worked in the Carryall back then. We didn't know why Whit was gone so long and later learned that he dropped by PeeWee's to get a sixpack of Pearl before picking us up. Beer drinking was not one of the approved tent activities, so when Whit handed cold Pearls to each of the counselors, including dewey-lipped freshmen, we should have been tipped me off that something was up. Then, Whit lifted his Pearl and asked us to toast our President. What!? Not the Trickster!!! "No, to the new President, the Honorable Gerald Ford." Could have knocked us over with a feather. The Pearl definitely did the trick.
Now, back to my point. Just as I remember these details of the day Tricky Dick resigned when I was at Camp Grady Spruce, I also fondly remember Winedale, perhaps because Winedale was so much like Camp Grady Spruce. Eating together, sweating in blistering heat together. Group pow wows. Getting along with all kinds of different folks. And for me in particular, I was pretty clueless about what Shakespeare was saying in so much of what I read. But, there I was. I couldn't write home and ask my folks to come get me. Luckily, nobody seemed to notice or, if they did, they were good campers and didn't snicker in front of me or short-sheet my bed. Even though I viewed his verses through a glass very darkly, I was still digging the acting, the farting around with funny people, shooting the shit and playing pool, being on stage, making masks, and seeing all these very talented people bring to life that which I had to hack my way through. I was especially proud with helping to choreograph the "chase scene" from "Much Ado", involving lots of slamming open and shut up-stairs shutters, running around on the roof, poking heads in and out in Keystone Kops slapstick style.
Anyway, somehow, the song of CGS and the song of Winedale harmonize like no other songs I know. I can't describe it, much less do it justice. Both are with me still. Somewhere. Not always where I can find them, much like my car keys. So, thank you, Jerald, and thank you, Alice, for getting so much of it down on paper, and thank you, Laura, for getting it down in pictures, and thank you, Terry and Madge, for remembering the folks who made it so great for all of us campers.
Buddy

Terry and I stopped at Angeline's house in Carmine and gave her flowers from all of us. She didn't feel up to attending the reunion but said she read about it and was thinking of us all and how much she cared for the Shakespeare students.
Thinking of you all.
Love,

Terry and Madge,
What a sweet and special thing to do, to visit Angeline. How thoughtful of you to remember her and remind us of those who worked so quietly to provide us with such a remarkable experience. For the younger folks, Angeline and Edith Clump, who was also the organist at the Lutheran church, worked tirelessly in the hot, hot, hot kitchen of Lauderdale House to provide amazing, wonderful meals, which allowed us to to pursue our efforts even though I am sure those efforts may have seemed a mystery to them. I always remember the meals as a time to gather as a group and process the events of the day, just like a family should. But as a foodie, I remember such fabulous meals. Who would serve hot lentil soup in July in Texas, but it was incredible, hearty, earthy, and delicious. I had never even heard of a lentil much less eaten one before Winedale. I was a cracker from East Texas. Mushrooms were what we used to knock off our crazy cousins. I have at times tried to recreate the most special meal,"Chicken in a Garden," without success. A plain, simple, meal of chicken on a large platter surrounded by the bounty of the country garden. I waited for it every year. " When are we gonna have "Chicken in a Garden? "No matter what I do, no matter how much I spend at the Farmers Market on fancy chickens and organic vegetables, I have never recreated the taste of such a simple yet luscious meal. Only my dear mother had such magic. All of the members of the Winedale staff deserve our thoughts. Rosalie and Delphine, Ronnie and Liz, cooking the Hunters Stew in that giant black cauldron all day, fueled only by longnecks and firewood. God knows what was in it. No one dared to ask. And how great was it to see Gloria? She made so much happen in the early days. And then there was Rollie and Marilyn Wagner. I cannot say how much the memories of these people fill out our experiences at Winedale. For the youngsters, the Wagner store was a special place, to have a beer, dance, chat, decompensate after the trials of the day. So many of us smoked then. To have a Merit and a Pearl while discussing the day , flirting, dancing on formal night. So many memories of the early years revolve around the store. See what just one picture of Angeline conjures.
We were not as connected to current events as we are today, but in 1974 we went over to the store to watch Richard Nixon resign the presidency. Doc, always mindful that we were guests in this community, reminded the long haired and outspoken of us to be respectful of our conservative hosts, and we went over to watch the historic occasion and did so quietly. I remember the day , as if it were yesterday. We sat watching the devil resign , and no one said a word. If I were at home, I might have cheered and toasted to the departure of this hated leader, but we watched quietly and with respect for the historic nature of this occasion. In hindsight, I am happy for having experienced it that way ,in such a unique place. In my four years there, I cannot remember ever as a group watching any other event on TV, not even the death of Elvis, who died in my last year at Winedale, 1977.
As I ramble on and on,, as an old timer, my thoughts go to those who made our lives so special, those hard working German- Americans, some who are no longer with us. The Austinites of the class of '75, Carol, Rob, Laura, Buddy and I struggled to remember all of their names, in many ways as important to us as our classmates. We want to remember them as part of our Winedale experience. And once again, a special thanks to Madge and Terry who were so thoughtful to remember Angeline, to visit her, present her with flowers of appreciation, and send us that lovely picture. I am such a softy, I tear up seeing her. Time takes its toll, but her sweetness really shines through.

Wow, Jerald. Thank you for writing this down. When you told me the story this past weekend, I thought it amazing, and now to have it here for all to appreciate and to refer back to again - well, thank you. You made me cry. I have to go now to find the kleenex before I ruin my laptop keyboard.
xoxo,

Thank you, Jerald, for slowing me down enough to send me back to Madge's
email, for the picture attached which I hadn't noticed in my hectic race
through emails. And thank you for this perfect extended recollection of the
important, sweet beings missing from the celebration of this anniversary.
And Madge, once again you prove yourself an indescribable treasure.

Wow -- thanks for this, Jerald. You took me back too. It was such an amazing juxtaposition, the world of the Barn and the world of the tavern. I remember the shock of seeing a television on over the bar late in the summer, showing a pre-season football game -- such a bizarre sight. Hard to imagine being that blissfully isolated today.
By '83 we probably were a bit less connected to the store than in your day, but my first great Winedale experience (after walking into the Barn) was a dinner gathering over by the big oak by the lake, with all the community folks singing German songs to Dwight's accordion. Fried catfish or BBQ, can't remember for certain, but Ronnie's cooking was incredible. Edith Klump was still working at her son's restaurant as of four or five years ago (Doc can correct me on the date, but it wasn't too long ago), and she was still just as sweet as can be, though she must've been in a lot of pain at times, and was moving slowly. They sold the place in the last year or two and thus went the last tangible community link for me to the old days.

*LITTLE GIDDING
*(No. 4 of 'Four Quartets')
*T.S. Eliot*
**
*V*
What we call the beginning is often the end
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
The end is where we start from. And every phrase
And sentence that is right (where every word is at home,
Taking its place to support the others,
The word neither diffident nor ostentatious,
An easy commerce of the old and the new,
The common word exact without vulgarity,
The formal word precise but not pedantic,
The complete consort dancing together)
Every phrase and every sentence is an end and a beginning,
Every poem an epitaph. And any action
Is a step to the block, to the fire, down the sea's throat
Or to an illegible stone: and that is where we start.
We die with the dying:
See, they depart, and we go with them.
We are born with the dead:
See, they return, and bring us with them.
The moment of the rose and the moment of the yew-tree
Are of equal duration. A people without history
Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern
Of timeless moments. So, while the light fails
On a winter's afternoon, in a secluded chapel
History is now and England.
With the drawing of this Love and the voice of this
Calling
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, unremembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover
Is that which was the beginning;
At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the apple-tree
Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.
Quick now, here, now, always—
A condition of complete simplicity
(Costing not less than everything)
And all shall be well and
All manner of thing shall be well
When the tongues of flame are in-folded
Into the crowned knot of fire
And the fire and the rose are one.

Hello friends! Above are links to virtual Winedale scene I put together in
the last few days (screenshot
here<https://winedale.s3.amazonaws.com/Winedale_scrape0.1.jpg>).
Download the appropriate package, unzip, and enjoy! Note the quality and
resolution dialog when you launch it; if you're in doubt as to the strength
of your machine, try lower resolution and quality settings. I haven't
spent much time optimizing this, but I'm releasing early, and hopefully
often. I built it with a prerelease beta of Unity3, so there might be some
bugs, YMMV. Only the barn is textured now, the other buildings are
placeholders.
My idea is to make this like a memory palace, where alumni and well-wishers
can chat and tag locations with comments, stories, pictures, etc... Many of
my most treasured memories are geolocated, as we say, at this place, and I
know I'm not alone in that. I also hope this can benefit the endowment
somehow.
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone on August 14th!
Jim Cherry, class of 85 and 86
Terry and I stopped at Angeline's house in Carmine and gave her
flowers from all of us. She didn't feel up to attending the reunion
but said she read about it and was thinking of us all and how much she
cared for the Shakespeare students.
Thinking of you all.
Love,
Madge

What we call the beginning is often the end
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
The end is where we start from. And every phrase
And sentence that is right (where every word is at home,
Taking its place to support the others,
The word neither diffident nor ostentatious,
An easy commerce of the old and the new,
The common word exact without vulgarity,
The formal word precise but not pedantic,
The complete consort dancing together)
Every phrase and every sentence is an end and a beginning,
Every poem an epitaph. And any action
Is a step to the block, to the fire, down the sea's throat
Or to an illegible stone: and that is where we start.
We die with the dying:
See, they depart, and we go with them.
We are born with the dead:
See, they return, and bring us with them.
The moment of the rose and the moment of the yew-tree
Are of equal duration. A people without history
Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern
Of timeless moments. So, while the light fails
On a winter's afternoon, in a secluded chapel
History is now and England.
With the drawing of this Love and the voice of this
Calling
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, unremembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover
Is that which was the beginning;
At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the apple-tree
Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.
Quick now, here, now, always—
A condition of complete simplicity
(Costing not less than everything)
And all shall be well and
All manner of thing shall be well
When the tongues of flame are in-folded
Into the crowned knot of fire
And the fire and the rose are one.
