As a yougling participant, nee class member of the 1988 and 1989 summer classes of University of Texas Shakespeare at Winedale program, I can remember sneaking down into the kitchen at night and discovering that the pies and pastries had been magically prepped and cooked for the dumb kids from UT.  It is right and fair that the labor of producing these staples (especially the bread) should be hidden from the incoming students.  WE WERE Hogwarts before that seed was even planted, plus, it set me forth towards a temporary career as a pastry chef.  I can remember taking to Angelene about the soup to nuts production of the daily fare...she rolled her eyes and explained that this is how it was always done.   Thank you dear friend.  You gave years and years of your life towards keeping these ungrateful kids fed.  I now know how hard this was.  Tonight....I shall bake a loaf or wheat bread using the recipe you gave me when I was a stupid 22 year old.  I will slice it, and deliver it to the homeless people standing in line at the ARCH.  (Actually, your recipe makes like 10 loaves, but I math-ed it down.).  Thank you for my life Angelene.

Oh my god, Doc, what a blow to the heart. Angelyne was someone whose Love came through in the food that she made, every morsel, every serving cooked up with the sense of who it was being made for. She was so generous to all of us students, and now to learn how generous she was to you and the program is so beautiful.  God bless her in every way.

Angelene died today.  She was our cook at Winedale for my 30 years of Shakespeare at Winedale.  She loved cooking and she loved Shakespeare at Winedale.  In 1980 she promised me that she would retire only when I did.  And she kept that promise.  Many of you do not know but at the end of each summer, she gave me a greeting card on which she wrote simply “Thanks”.  Inside was a folded new 100 bill.  For 30 years.  For Shakespeare at Winedale.  And you likely don’t know that when she cooked fried chicken, she saved the wings for me, hiding them in the kitchen. 

She loved every one of you too.
