This is one of Rugg's photos of our production of Pierre Patelin. The woman playing my wife.. Lou... gosh.. what's her last name? We had a great time doing this in parks. Michael Lyman was in this one, too, playing a judge.
Over the past couple of days I've learned again what an amazng resource the internet is. Through an art gallery in New York City I was able to contact Iris Rose, an artist I met in the summer session at Long Beach in about 1970. She lives in Manhattan, but was in Oregon when she got my message. A couple of days later I got a note from her saying that she was visiting with Jeanne Gallo in San Francisco, another friend from those days in Long Beach.
Today, in Sun City, Arizona, I contacted Madelyn Rusthoven who was also a student then. Jaye Johnson should be able to round up Richard Gray, who may be in touch with others from the sixties/seventies at Long Beach State.
I've also contacted a former student of mine, Linda Tyler (now Valenti) who was part of the original Merrie Masquers group.
I've no idea how many others may be following this blog. Hope it's fun for Rugg to read after the party!
Michael
