I always eavesdrop on these email threads with pleasure. But I am so moved by everyone’s remembrances of Angelene, the Winedale cook, I wanted to add my thoughts.
I remember her well, her warmth, her interest in us, another crew of summer visitors. And I remember her food, which was wonderful, country, and sometimes, for me, curious. (That sugary sweet Mexi-German salsa?) She had a generous heart and I won’t forget her.

Angelene... so sad to hear this. she was/is a Winedale legend. in 1980 after I told her I loved sweet pickles with fried chicken, she always had a little bowl of sweet pickles that she handed to me in the line at dinner. I will never forget the smile on her face every time...
Doc, you and her family are in our prayers.

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.
