I made a donation to the Danny Devine Studio in Andy's memory. I went to junior high and high school with Andy in Penn Hills. I saw him perform in Doctor Doolittle, Don't Drink the Water, The King and I and the Sound of Music to new name a few of his fine performances. He really loved theater and it showed. He will be dearly missed.
