Playbill from A Chorus Line, Drury Theatre, London 1979

Entertainment, Events, Friends, Memories, Music, Things, Travel, ,

I student taught in London the spring term of 1979. I can’t say that I learned much about teaching during those few months, but I sure had a blast in London.

One night a bunch of us, mostly — perhaps all — American students, went to Theatre Royal Drury Lane to see the musical A Chorus Line. I loved the musical (and still have the LP I bought after getting back to the States). Music from that show brings back such vivid memories of sights and sounds and even smells of my time in London. On the way back from the show we danced, linked arms and kicking, chorus-line-style through the streets of London, down the steps of the Underground, and back to Southlands College.

Good memories. I don’t need to keep this. Is there a market for vintage playbills?

Thank You Letter to Mom and Dad for Clare’s 2nd Birthday Presents

Events, Family, Memories, , ,

I don’t remember Clare’s second birthday party. Perhaps we were in Elgin and had it at my Mom’s house? I think her third birthday Party was at Kevin’s.

Dear Mom & Dad,

Thank you for Clare’s dollhouse and Peter Rabbit books. She really loves the dollhouse. I’m not sure she’s noticed the books yet but I know she will enjoy them in time.

Thank you for all the help (help? haha, you did everything) in planning Clare’s party.

Miss you —

Love,
Dean, Dona, Clare and Andrew

I also enclosed four photos of our trip to Chincoteague and Clare and Andrew in a 4th of July parade.
