I cannot think of Angelene without being warmed again by the steady glow of her love, which I saw in her face not only every time I was there for the program, but even for the decades when I just showed up as a guest. All the years later, whenever I saw her and our eyes would meet, she'd light up in recognition, and it was as if hardly any time had passed at all. Her name was the big clue, left right out in the open--she was an angel. And I feel blessed to have known her and to have been blessed by her love and care.

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.
