midwest thoughts

occasional musings from the heartland, removed from distractions like mountains, seacoasts, and any elevation of the land -- flat other than the several glacial ravines that run through the area.

Travels and readings

Much travel of late; here are my colleagues Nena Couch and Beth Kattelman and me with Janet Waldo Lee at her home in Encino, California, in September; Janet's the widow of playwright Robert E. Lee, herself a wellknown voiceover actress (Judy Jetson, most famously; also Morticia Addams in the animated Addams Family, Penelope and the Pussycats, and many, many more).

In Los Angeles in late September; here I am with fellow Fellows of the College of the American Theatre John Cauble of U.C.L.A. and screenwriter/playwright Fay Kanin; we were at the presentation of the Margo Jones Medal posthumously to Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, both of whom were also Fellows of the organization based at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.


and with Columbus friend Carol Shelton at the Theatre and Aging seminar in July
