Finishing up a dystopian novel called Lark Ascending. It’s by a Kentuckian named Silas House. It’s fairly interesting. The Fundies (fundamentalists) have taken over America sfter climate change has made it unlivable. The main character escapes to Ireland, which has just stopped taking in immigrants. Lark wants to survive. He meets a dog snd a mother figure. Together they hit the road for a supposedly better place.

Hmmm, did you like it?

Packed most of my suitcase, so I can leave when the time comes.

Sending hugs.  It is easier to be prepared.

Gretchen Cryer who wrote a musical with a similar name was married to David Cryer....they met while they were students at DePauw University.

Their son is Jon Cryer.

When David and his now wife - they met while doing a Broadway show with Ray Bolger - David told the story of when he was given an award at DePauw.  He opened his acceptance speech by telling the audience how nervous he was because his first wife and his new wife were sitting side by side in the audience.

I interviewed Gretchen Cryer when she started a business selling frozen meals for housebound folks. The food was pretty good. She was fun to speak with.

I was friendly with Gretchen while I was working at Barnes & Noble, 1998-2004. I believe she relocated then to Los Angeles to be close to her son. I liked her very much. I saw her in the Martha Jefferson role in 1776, August 1969.

When my dad's health became terminal in 2006, I took my suit home on one of my visits and left it at Randy's home so I would not need to worry about it if/when the time came.

DR Jrand73, I loved the Come Summer stories. I believe Margaret Hamilton was in it, and I'm looking forward to reading the link you posted.

Well, the project is on. Jason Buell, with whom I worked on the Loesser restorations of Guys & Dolls and How to Succeed in Business . . ., works with the Jule Styne estate. He, Joshie, and I are going to restore Gypsy, slogging through all the materials that exist, from original full scores, national tour parts, amateur-stock parts, and several revivals.
