[Winedale-l] Happy Birthday, Doc

Hello Doc, and a Many Happy Returns of the Day. I hope this message finds you well, and that you have a splendid birthday celebration. Words cannot fully express my gratitude for all that you have done, not only for me but the other scholars in our "happy band". Best wishes to you and

[Winedale-l] Re: Happy Valentine's Day!

Thank you, Doc, for the lovely St. Valentine's Day message. And thanks to all the alums, with their beautiful thoughts. Reminders of how we are all connected through this remarkable program and our experiences, both common and personal. If I may be so bold as to offer a complimentary

Thanks Barry. I too noticed this reference (Olbermann also gave a shoutout to Mike in this morning's podcast of "Countdown"). The Colbert YouTube link is as follows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3y_iIgtGhU Enjoy all. John Quoting Barry Jones : To all: I suppose many of us watch The

[Winedale-l] Re: Rando and his Back to the Future at the parade

In one of his podcasts last week, Keith Olbermann referenced "The Law" TWICE. Seems our Mr. Mike is on a roll. The question is whether calling out actual national socialists comes under the law in the same way as does calling someone a Nazi because the accusing party loses their temper in

[Winedale-l] Re: James Loehlin

I remember the volleyball matches between '84 class members. James had an advantage with his height, but it was the fire in his belly that made him formidable. I played adequately (remember, bad hand-eye coordination), but still made an effort to be on James' team. B) Quoting Laurel

[Winedale-l] Re: James Loehlin

I haven't had the same good luck with tequila that you did, but then I also didn't have Claire as a ministering angel to make sure I was taking my medicine correctly. B) My memory of the Halley's jaunt was that we were in one car (mine), but here we get into "Rashomon" territory. Best

[Winedale-l] Re: James Loehlin

Hello again. I'm reminded, Clayton, (often as it turns out, for multiple reasons) of the time you, David Sharpe, James, and I drove out to the property in front of the Barn to view Halley's comet in 1986 (sadly, a weak apparition, but we did see it). I believe there was a gibbous moon

[Winedale-l] Re: James Loehlin

Thank you, Doc, for these beautiful, sad, and accurate words. I can't add any better words than those expressed by you and my associates. All I can say is the obvious, that I already miss and will always miss James. Love to you all. John Quoting James Ayres : After a lengthy and bold

Thanks for the reminder, Mike. I'll have mine in the mail on Monday. Best wishes. John Quoting Mike Godwin : First of what I hope will be a very short series of reminders to send Doc your Reunion checks (if you're attending the full Reunion weekend in November): As Gail noted in her August

Thank YOU, Mike, for your unceasing efforts on this front. Valiant work, sir. Quoting Mike Godwin : Dear folks, Some of you have noticed that sometimes, when exchanges get longer, the old mailing list (winedale-l, run off the Wikimedia Foundation server) won't forward messages bigger than

As one who was privileged to have participated in a few if David and Jose's late-night (well, alright, all-night) seances, I can attest to everything he wrote in the second paragraph, and most of us know the truth of the first. In the last year and a half, Jose and I would get on text

[Winedale-l] Re: Jose

It seems I can't turn anywhere or think of anything, no matter how far-flung the topic, without being reminded of Jose. His humor, knowledge, enthusiasm, and warmth were boundless. I miss him terribly. Whatever new information you learn, or how best to communicate with his family, please

[Winedale-l] Re: Toasting Robert Faires

Many congratulations, Robert. Thirty-five years. Has it really been that long. I remember when you took over from your predecessor, a competent but somewhat sluggardly fellow that just hadn't raised the coverage of dramatic and concert arts up to the level they needed to be at th

Re: [Winedale-l] Artists inventing stuff!

Why does this remind me of "This is a Play," or whatever it was called from "Fahrenheit 451," where you would interact with the theatre on your vidscreen wall. This, needless to say, has less sinister connotations because of the social context, but the actors whispering line to the player

Re: [Winedale-l] Stay Home, Stay Safe

Well, if Timon's "friends" had maintained social distancing and stayed home instead of coming over to his place to mooch off of his hospitality, maybe it would have turned out differently... Or Timon would have gotten his stimulus relief check, which would have bailed him out...wait,

Re: [Winedale-l] Doc on Zoom with a gang

Sorry I missed it. Some "fires" came up here and I had to put them out. I apparently missed a good time. Maybe next round. Best wishes. John Quoting Robert Faires : Agreed, Casey. And as someone not reading, I was surprised by how much fun and interesting it was to comment on the scene and

Re: [Winedale-l] Gauging interest in Zoom teleconferencing for Winedalers

Thanks Mike. Great information to have. - John Quoting Mike Godwin : I noticed something of interest yesterday, which is that seems to be some integration between FaceTime (the video chat feature on Macs, iPhones, iPads, and such) and Zoom (the video conferencing platform that we're going to

Re: [Winedale-l] Gauging interest in Zoom teleconferencing for Winedalers

c) both days. Answer e) both days if you'll cut the bait puns. John Quoting Mike Godwin : Keep in mind that this is a trial run use of "Zoom-at-Winedale," and no one should think this is mandatory--we're just trying to see if the tool works well for us collaboratively. So it will be Saturday

Re: [Winedale-l] Gauging interest in Zoom teleconferencing for Winedalers

An excellent idea. My thanks to Carl for the suggestion (and a note that Robert Stevens suggested something like this first thing out of the gate when we were discussing the reunion last year), and thanks as always to Mike for guiding us through the technical specifics. A few of the "usual

Re: [Winedale-l] René Auberjonois

I think Joe Papp opened a lot of doors to Shakespeare for a lot of us. I remember his "Much Ado About Nothing", set in turn of the century America, that aired about the same time as the Lear you mention, and that set my mind afire. As with you, I hadn't given Shakespeare much consideration

Count me in as well. IF, THEN. Quoting James Ayres : It occurred to me me that it might be useful to have an estimate of how many of you would participate in a week-long reunion next year in August IF we decide to do such a thing? There is much virtue in this IF, for very soon I need to

Re: [Winedale-l] Reunion.

I've been looking forward to this since the last day of the 2015 reunion. If there's any room left on board I'd love to be counted as a player. I'm up for anything, from (to paraphrase Dickens) 'pitch-and-toss' to manslaughter. Count me in for whatever you need. See all of you then. John

Re: [Winedale-l] 2020 Reunion

Madge pretty much sums up all I would have to say at this moment. I think a confab in Austin would be great for whoever could make it. Maybe by then I'll have some ideas, but the two-day festivities incorporating the multiple generations sounds good. I've been looking forward to this since

Re: [Winedale-l] Happy Birthday Mr Shakespeare!

Why didn't I think of this, Mike? I actually had this memorized many years ago. Now, I only recall snippets. One of my favorite pieces by one of my favorite authors. Thanks for sharing. John Quoting Mike Godwin : As a special Happy Birthday wish, let me share with you my favorite

Re: [Winedale-l] Angelene

There isn't a lot I can add to the fine recollections already sent by my fellow alumni. I remember Angelene's sweet nature and kindness. She always smiled, an indication in her case of her love for her work (and doing it on a small scale has taught me how much work cooking is). I always

Re: [Winedale-l] Marching marching everywhere! And Poster for Faust's Inaugural BAWL

Oh Terry. Troublemaking at your age! (24 isn't it?) I appreciate the alliteration, but I think your sign should read "Putin's Viceroy". Sub-monarchs are called "viceroy's". Raise hell in Tallahassee. Yours in solidarity. John Quoting tlgalloway via Shakespeare at Winedale Email List

Re: [Winedale-l] Maggie Smith as Beatrice!

Recall delight of seeing Maggie Smith and Ed Fox in a minor play called "Interpretors" in 1985 in London. Had box seats (they were cheap then). Must have been no more than 20 feet away from her. Transcendent. Quoting Clayton Stromberger : Plenty of

Re: [Winedale-l] Because it has been on my mind--

Thanks, Jayne, for that VERY important clarification. This isn't just some window dressing; it's a "real deal" indicator of achievement. And, as always, my dear friend Clayton, my congratulations. I endorse Jayne's verdict entirely. Had I the talent I'd write a "corrido" about your heroic

A Belated Many Happy Returns of the Day, Doc. In the past, I've usually sent greetings on time. This year, I seem to be the last horse to cross the finish line. Chalk it up to a horrible project that is consuming not only my time but my soul. Hope you celebrated properly in high spirits.
