And another greeting
by Carl Smith 21 Mar '13

21 Mar '13

Acrostically yours, Doc. Happy Birthday! Love, Carl Smith '70, and I forget the other years - but I still remember my Oberon and Shylock speeches! An Anciano woke, as from a dream His spittle dry, an emblem of his age. Am I the Oberon that I once seemed? Perhaps my fairy voice can still be rais’d. Presuming I remember where to start, Yellow gold may yet run in these salt streams. But notwithstanding, haste, pierced through the heart I thirst for gracious, golden, glittering gleams. Recalling voices of Windedales long past The shade of oaks, the heat, the barn, the stars, He recognized their meaning, and he gasped, Doc’s birthday’s coming, I forgot a card! Although the Bard of Avon’s mouth has closed, Your birthday song is singing from his prose.

Happy Birthday!

Hi Doc - Happy Birthday from frozen Massachusetts, where even though "the icy fang and churlish chiding of the winter's wind ... bites and blows upon my body, even till I shrink with cold", (and believe me, I am shrinking) I smile thinking of you in celebration of 80 years and all you've achieved. So many students discovering richer lives because of the magic of the barn and the hills of Winedale and a love of Shakespeare's words that you inspired. Thank you, Cindy Jaynes ('78 and '80)

happy birthday
by (William) Brett Youens 21 Mar '13

Hi Doc, I hear it's your 80th birthday. I certainly wish I could be there to congratulate you. I hope your 80th is a good one. I am still over in Germany. Still doing music, but also studying mathematics. I am very happy. Also got married in 2011. As you already know, Shakespeare at Winedale played a huge role in me becoming who I am. Without that experience there would be so much that I would be missing - and I wouldn't even know that I would be missing it. And I have that, thanks to you. To play's the thing. So thanks again, and have a happy birthday, Brett Youens, '96, '99

Doc and Eric, You both have good memories. I only remembered, "Take pains, be perfit, adieu." Anyway, hope you both are well. Happy 80th Birthday, Doc. Sounds like quite a celebration is brewing. Would love to catch up more. JTB Sent from my iPhone On Mar 12, 2013, at 10:17 PM, James Ayres <jayres(a)cvctx.com> wrote: > Hey Eric. Great to hear your voice.

However, I cannot recall Doc ever having used this quote towards me, but I just assumed he was always thinking it when I flubbed my part..
