Hi Stan and all – I have of course been thinking of
Valerie today, although that’s not unusual, I think of her often.
She was also Rosaline in Love’s Labor’s Lost, Lady Montague and the
apothecary in R&J, and was with me as we dimmed the lights over the dead
lovers (to Barber’s Adagio for Strings). From that vantage point we
got to hear and see Doc’s marvelous Montague:
But I can give thee more:
For I will raise her statue in pure gold;
That while Verona by that name is known,
There shall no figure at such rate be set
As that of true and faithful Juliet.
But mostly she was a joyful friend, especially during my medical
training. I have a great photo of her and will try to find it. We
can raise a “statue” to her and the others.
Best,
Eric

So how shall we proceed with
our gesture of remembrance/dedication? I know we need to collect a list of the names and photos of those lost to us (at least in the
flesh). I will
gather the names, but I am not to be trusted with putting together any kind of
photo sort of thing. All of my photo "albums" are in large
boxes in the attic or flying about in various unorganized drawers.
So..... send me the
names. I am reminded of the shepherd and the clown in Winter's Tale, when they happen upon the remains of Antigonus and Perdita the babe, with
death and new life on the same shore. And I am reminded of the scene
because Valerie, who
played the clown, is gone.

Wow. I got tears in my eyes
looking through these photos. Each class was - is - unique, but we all shared
so many of the same experiences: the costumes, the beers, the beards, the
sewing, the singing. The words. That barn. Doc.
Thank you for sending.
I agree with Stan, too, btw.
Jayne

Jerald, thanks. Bruce
and all, I am tearing up at my computer this rainy
morning after seeing Steven's
photos and the beauty of the others. I first
met Steven, perched like Puck
at the end of Eri Weinstein's water bed,
waking us up to go to Taco
Village for breakfast. I was thinking that there
are a number of exes (both
supporters and students) no longer walking the
stage of the earth and
perhaps we could gather their photos and dedicate a
little something to them at
the reunion? Gotta go teach.

Dear Alums.
I had the wonderful
pleasure of spending some time last week in a mini
reunion with my fellow
classmates of the class of 75-76, Laura Smith, Rob
Lallier,Carol Martin, her
hubby Sam, and Buddy Steele and his wife Maggie at
Laura's home. We had a
special evening reminiscing about our time in 1975 at
Winedale, how it changed our
lives, and despite protestations in previous
discussions, how we feel was
the best class in 40 years, (but we can put
this aside for the moment.)
Laura, (who is now a VP of UTMB, sorry Laura, I
am still impressed,) was our
resident photographer as well as a delightful
comic actress and dear
friend. She had access to a darkroom above the office
across the road from the barn
and what is now the ruins of Lauderdale House.
She saved all of these images
for 35 years and presented a disc of them for
all of us to enjoy. These
photos are iconic of our time there. There are
certain pictures which are
burned into my memory still 35 years later, and
we were all immediately
transported back to such a wonderful time with
friends I hope to see in
August. And my God, what a young and good-looking
group of students. What
happened?
I am the worst with
computers, so my partner Sergio helped me put them into
an album which I hope
we all can share, especially the classes of '75 and
'76, but also for all
those classes who followed as well. Not only do they
capture he essence of our
time there, but they are also just great photos I
think everyone can enjoy.
This is the link to the
Mobile Me album. (There is a shot of a much later
single photo which I could
not figure out how to delete. Please ignore. As I
said I am challenged.)
Thanks so much to Laura for
preserving this for us all.

I hope you all can access it
and enjoy.
Jerald
