Thanks Kathy and Jayne. I remember her vividly from those indelible performances in '86 and I'll always regret I never had the opportunity to know her better. I remember many wonderful and very funny stories about her from you two, Mark Bouler, David and others. An amazing woman. cs On Apr 3, 2011, at 9:34 AM, kathryn blackbird wrote: Clayton Stromberger Outreach Coordinator, UT Shakespeare at Winedale College of Liberal Arts, University of Texas at Austin www.shakespeare-winedale.org cell: 512-363-6864 UT Sh. at W. office: 512-471-4726 _______________________________________________ Winedale-l mailing list Winedale-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/winedale-l

Nancy just made you feel good to be around; she had both an easy, infectious smile and a sharp wit. She could be tough, but was also very sensitive. She was indeed serious about the life of the mind, but didn't take herself or her beauty seriously. She seemed very authentic to me. My memory of her from that era is that she kind of glowed, with waves of blond hair, juicy lips, sparkling eyes full of humor... We spent some time together my last year, reading each other's poems, and I've never forgotten the words of support she gave me then. In another life we might have ended up together; the woman I married reminds me of her in many ways. I can't imagine how her husband feels now, but I'm sure Nancy was as wonderful a mate to him as she was a friend and inspiration to us.

I have looked at her picture several times and each time I thought I must have known her, she is so familiar. I know I saw the performances in 1986, perhaps I had met her then. Maybe we talked a while. I really can't recall. But really it was the photo and the obituary, what a smile, what a beauty, which led me to think, " Maybe I just I wish I had known her." Memories are like that. What a loss for our Winedale community, but how profound a loss for her family, and especially for her husband. They are in our prayers, Jerald On Apr 3, 2011, at 9:34 AM, kathryn blackbird wrote:
