Dear Friends,
Few people touch lives as directly as Doc Ayres has in his now 90-years. In 1970, he tossed a stone into a pool and from that first splash, circle after circle of play, hard work and personal growth has radiated out across 53 years. Somehow Doc figured out the alchemy of transformative experience, setting the stage for every class of Shakespeare at Winedale and every session of Camp Shakespeare, the culmination of his life’s work. It has been an astonishing conjuring act, shared with fellow magicians James Loehlin and Robin Grace Soto, giving life to each season’s performances by students and Campers alike. But it has *also* been a continuous, 53-year struggle, also shared with James and Robin Grace, to find the funds to keep the literal and metaphorical lights on. Today we are asking for your help for Camp Shakespeare, to conjure up a collective chorus of appreciation in the form of many many *many* contributions to this year’s Hornraiser. Click here to donate! <https://hornraiser.utexas.edu/project/37638> Please dig deep and give generously. Let’s dazzle Doc! Love, Maggie, Mary and Madge
