In MemoriamAnaleee Poole

This wonderful supporter ofWVLO never appeared on our stage, burshe was among our opening night audiences from 1964 through 1999.We will truly miss this gracious lady who was our last surviving "originalsubscriber" and attended our productions even when she moved to SantaBarbara for a short time and then returned to Walnut Creek a few yearsago. Annalee loved the opening night galas because she could encourageand praise the performers for all their hard work. She often made addi-tional donations to WVLO-her most recent was to purchase the plaquefor the "Jean Hutchins Award" so that someone would be honored an-nually in Jean's name. Jean was our ticket lady for 17 years and we're surethey are together now reminiscing their many theatrical experiences.

JohnWalsh-1919-2000This delightful gentlemen was one of our performers, having appearedcountless times on this stage for WVLO and SDG. He had a wonderfulwit and loved to make the audience laugh. He had trouble remember-ing lines, but you could always count on him 'ad-libbing' something tokeep the scene going. With John on stage, there was never a dull mo-ment! We will miss him!

A few thoughts from our Director ...

When I was doing research preparing for this show, I readsome wonderful books about Will Rogers. He was such anamazing man, especially for the times he lived in! Do youknow he sailed to Argentina in 1900 and traveled aroundthe area there, then in South Africa-surviving mainly onhis wits and his roping skills? How many of us have beento either of those countries even today, when it's so mucheasier to get there? (especially considering how seasickWill got!!) Will Rogers was also one of the first supportersof commercial air travel-he loved the excitement of it.He came across as an everyday, ordinary, simple man, butwas respected and consulted by some of the mostpowerful men of his time, including several presidents.This show serves to honor the honesty and humor thatwere Will Rogers' trademarks, while also bringing backthe glory of the Ziegfeld Follies days, when Will gainedmuch of his fame. It's a show about both subjects, and themain objective is to sit back and enjoy! If you learnsomething about Will along the way, all the better! I'vehad a wonderful time working with this tremendous castand crew and thank them for all the hard work they'veput in. Have a great time-I know I will!!
