Hey Heather! Here's a shout out to you, too, me dove for your lovely tribute
to those in the Winedale tribe you may not know but love through association.
And yes, Doc's tribute to Robert was the best, the sweetest, the funniest and
the most moving. What an excellent writer Doc is, hmm?

I love you, Robert, the Ding to my Dong!
I loved reading everything you wrote and I've been proud and happy to have
known you before you wrote for the Chronicle, while you wrote for the

writer and were the perfect

The title of the books referred to Bottom. I have no idea where the book is.

You took the most memorable photographs of Winedale. All those black and white
beauties. You always caught something else at work besides the "play" --
whether the play was at the Waggoner's or in the barn.
Who better to chronicle the 50th.
With love and admiration,

And yes-- as I can attest-- the Scottish Rite is the perfect pre-meeting

My memory was at fault. I was mixing up Lon Tinkle a Texas historian with Lonn

unmistakably Winedale's Lonn Taylor.

My memory must be failing. I always thought his name was Lonn Tinkle, not

I'll watch the interview and see if that's the Lonn I remember. What I
remember most about him was that he had black hair and a jumble of teeth.

I loved hearing the poem, Doc. It reminded me of the first day of my first

to the "greenwood" trees outside the barn. I launched myself into the air,
flipped over and landed on my feet -- something I had never done
