Since I got to do some Hang Outs I didn't get a chance to say thanks to the folks who pushed the funding up to 60%. Now that's some BIG Generosity!
First off, I want to say thank you to a couple that wish to remain Anonymous. You know who you are. You know how highly I regard you. And I look at the time I will get to spend to you as an additional gift. Thank you!
I also got a letter in the mail that looked like this with a check in it from the Wootten Family, one of my favorite families on the planet! : D
Though I have not yet had the chance to meet Miss Miri, I spent a little time with Hank a couple years back. Though he won't recall it, I do have photographic evidence of him connecting with me early on, well at least my hat! ; )
Sam & Em, both former students, and steadfast friends, I have known much longer.
Sam is a wild and crazy guy, one of the founding members of Chicago dell'Arte. He's a Bowie Freak, ex-lead singer of a funk band in Athens, and a great, enthusiastic actor.

in October of 2006
Sam runs the Tipping Point which his wife Emily co-owns in the Hampstead Community in Montgomery, Alabama.
Emily is no slouch herself when it comes to creative work. I had the pleasure to work with her at the Act One Studios Certificate Program in Chicago where she and Sam moved after he graduated from IU. Emily is a bubbly, vivacious and very dedicated actor. She also has a beautiful singing voice, lending her pipes to some of the back-up tracks on the Mayberry STD record.
As you may have gathered, in addition to their pup, Lula, Sam and Em have two chilluns and a nice life downSouth that I don't get to traipse through enough.
Aren't they adorable? I hope to see them *very* soon!
Thanks for everything Woottens. Past, Present and Future!
I will see y'all SOON!
Best,
M
