Only a tiny fraction (.25 percent) of K-12 schools in the U.S. are designated Blue Ribbon. Parents in Dallas have slept in tents to be in line for transfer seats at the handful of schools here that have received the award over the years. What Clayton’s school has achieved is remarkable and his contributions can be traced directly to the award. All this is a nice way of saying CLAYTON YOU ARE ONE B.A.M.F.!!! jayne

They were unfazed to see Fred Cantu and his cameraman in the little “theater room” built over the summer and eagerly volunteered for their turn at Bernardo, Francisco, et al. Very impressive and heartening what’s going on at Blackshear; next door to us in the dance studio, I saw a class of first graders in socks lining up on their tippytoes for ballet lessons. I’m so glad the principal, Betty Jenkins, is receiving this Blue Ribbon recognition for her determination to make the school the first Fine Arts Magnet at the elementary level in the district. It’s a remarkable sea change from the atmosphere of even a decade ago — when arts were tossed aside the moment scores dipped — and I hope this award will give other elementary-level administrators in low-income communities the courage and incentive to make the arts an integral part of their students’ day. Especially sweet since I was run off from Blackshear 16 years ago largely for doing Shakespeare with my classes when I should have been drilling them for the TAAS test…! cs On Sep 30, 2015, at 7:43 PM, Aubrey Carter <aubreycar...@sbcglobal.net<mailto:aubreycar...@sbcglobal.net>> wrote: Great work Clayton.

The arts program there was mentioned as a real plus.

What a thrill it was to have Doc and JoAnn and such a goodly herd of our beloveds in the theater. I'm sorry the Ghost of Scottish Rite Theater targeted Lynn in its naughty shenanigans. I promise to get Stan to smudge the place in preparation for any of you who dare to enter and sit in the seats. Terry, your email enchants me. Thank you for that. Dream, dream, dream!

The theatre and sets were gorgeous... But do check your chair backs before sitting down. I had an entanglement with my first choice which had a broken back and almost broke mine as we collapsed to the floor! Our two wonderful doctors - Craig and Jerald came to my rescue, prescribed Advil and ice, and we then all enjoyed the show. Of course Jerald had to inform me how sore I would be in the morning! Anyway - come see the show and let's all go to dinner! And Terry, thanks for your lovely words! They mean a lot! It also meant the world to me that you came to our performances- you were missed during the week! And to the rest of you- keep writing, it is joyful to hear your voices!

This time it was directed by reunion alum Susan Todd and one of the Dromio’s was played by Kathy Blackbird who was a real hoot. I just love to see those Dromios receiving a few licks. . I know I loved beating Mary Collins in 1978, when she was my Dromio.. There were several other Winedale alums in the show as well. Zaniness ensued. There was a mini reunion in the audience. Hurwitz, Lynn, Joy, Mike Mergan, Doc, and Joann were all in attendance as was Jonathan and Whitney Ayres. It was good to see them all . Thankfully, Lynn sat between Joy and I so Joy’s harassment of me was kept to a minimum. The theater itself is worth seeing as well which was built in 1871 and if I am not mistaken, some of the fly/ sets used in CE were original. It looked great. The show runs for a while longer so if you are in Austin, and looking for an escape from the ACL hoards, go support some local theater, and of course our friends as well.

I can't get over how tightly they were performed. Crisp and energetic and funny and moving. Both of them. When I was there watching it seemed well, of course-- that's the way Winedale works. But now that a few weeks have gone by, I am struck once again by what a miracle it is that two plays can be so perfectly realized in just a week. And I wanted to say again to all of you who performed at the reunion, what a profound pleasure it was to witness the results of your thought, your sweat, yours whims, your camaraderie and your playing. It was enchanting. Just like it should be, has always been, and always will be. Love to you.
