Dear folks,
Thanks to Steve Price, we now have contact information for Shari Gray, who as some of you know has been ill for some time, and who has been living with her mom in Houston (the motherlode of medical expertise). I spoke to her on the phone this afternoon, and she would be happy to hear from any of us who wish to call her on her now-working cell phone number: 323-633-5040.
Shari is now subscribed to this list through her mother's email address at mlgray1@yahoo.com, but may switch to another email address later on. She says she hopes to see us at Winedale this summer and wants to know (if anyone happens to know) whether it will be possible for her to be carried up to the barn in her van. (She walks with a cane and has difficulty on some of the rough surfaces in the parking lot and walkway.)
Finally, she asked me whether anyone has one of the great greenish four-color Shakespeare-at-Winedale posters from 1980. It turns out Shari had a housesitter who threw away her earlier copy of the poster because it creeped him out. (I asked whether it was the picture of Bruce or the picture of Terry on it that was scary, but Shari wouldn't say. ) "But the poster doesn't creep *me* out," says Shari, which of course is the important thing.
If you have the urge, give Shari a call.

Great job, Steve, and thanks Mike.
I think there are some of those posters around the Sh at W office. I will find one for her.

I will write Shari about all of this. Thanks once again, Mike, for your guidance. Yes, of course, we can make it easy for her to get into the Theater. And I hope, as well, rather easy to replace the "greenish" 1980 poster. That is the one with a fool with cap and bells standing in front of the upper windows in the theater barn holding a bauble topped with a contrasting image of himself. Out the window in the distance below is the theater barn itself, windows closed. An inside/outside perspective. The artist used some 10 photos of students in the 70's to create the faces of fool. In the forehead, nose, teeth, lips, chin, and neck of fool and his scepter are images of some of the old folks. Maybe we should have a contest on this? I wonder if the kids in the 70's can find themselves in the faces. Only the Shadow knows.
Not sure what freaked out Shari's house sitter. Maybe the orthodontic dream-teeth?
By the way, the artist won an award for the poster in Los Angeles.
The later poster, done in '85, picturing Terry, Bruce, Kevin Boyle, Kris Betts (twice), Jeannie McCarthy, John Rando, Shakespeare, and me, against a background of the theater barn, was done by Jimmy Longacre, a native American, who also designed the Cowboy "Willie" logo (which brought him an NY award for graphics soon after).
I know you did not invite all of this. But this IS reunion year and I think we should be re-connecting things.
Cheers, Doc

I think so too. One thought I had is that it might be worth creating a project to digitize all the old photos we have and set them up on a Flickr-like or Wiki-like website, enabling everyone else to come in and tag the photos, ID people, and comment.
It's a project that is a little beyond my scope at the moment, but I could advise.

Wow Doc, I never knew that about that poster! It creeped out my sons when they were young, as well as several of my students as I had it hanging in my classroom for many years. I actually used it in a visual analysis activity I taught - wish I had known the history then...I will have to pull it out and see if I can recognize old friends from the 70s....Lynn
