Like Craig, I am also proud of having been "Amahl" way back in 1952. I performed the role here in Ct., in Ft. Wayne, Ind., and with the late A. Dorati in Minneapolis, Mn. Had it not been for Mr. Menotti, I could not have had the many experiences, nor wonderful memories that I do. It was an experience that I will never forget! The friends I made, alot remain with me still. My deepest sympathy to his family.......he and his works will live forever.

I have fond memories of performing the lead roll in Amahl and the Night Visitors when I was twelve years old. I am truly thankful for the contributions that Mr. Menotti made while he was with us and am confident that his works will live on for future generations. Please know your family is in my prayers during this difficult time.
