age 23 with my special girl Angie. She helped me grow. Also in pic is Linda Cotton. We had a beautiful friendship. Our class was amazingly diverse. The experience was a plateform for me to love all.

Director Mary Mertins was furious that I cut all my hair off during the middle of PIPPIN performances. Back then PIPPIN was known for having long blond hair. I had gone to Atlanta City and after rebleaching my hair it had melted. It broke my heart. looking back my hair fell out soooo easily. Simply blow drying it would make it fall out. It must have been a pre curser to collagen deficiency that is the catylist to set up Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Many back and knee injuries followed. However, I was extremely lucky to postpone EDS until age 60. Most become disabled by age 25. I noticed by age 22 that my skin was wrinkling that did not make sense. I noticed during "The four seasons" play.

I had the master copy of the show that George Luz filmed. However my house was robbed and they stole the VCR that had the film. Terry tried to offer a reward to get it back but no results.

We were invited to perform for the President at a luncheon after our run that received recognition for inclusion of those disabled to honor "the international year of the handicapped"
