Arry – Supporting Role
Fall, 1983-84
I didn’t even try out for this part. At 53, I felt I couldn’t do the play and teach and go to speech competitions all at once. Shirley MacIntyre came over and brought wine to beg me to take the part. She suggested that I may be able to do it if I had help.
So Barb Sorensen, Bill Giles, and Lee Walsh helped me in so many ways, I was able to get it all done. Lee and Barb helped with my Speech Team and even went to competitions with me. Bill Giles lived at my house on the weekends and cooked dinners and took care of Brownie so that all I had to do was grade papers and learn lines. Without them, I couldn’t have taken on the role.
