What a long terrible summer it's been. Besides so many deaths from the COVID-19 virus, one of my most beloved friends and colleagues died on July 6. Dana Preu was a treasure - a wonderful actress, teacher, scholar, and human being. I met her when she came to one of my very first performances as Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. Of course I already knew who she was because of her starring role in "Gal Young'un," the Victor Nunez film based on the Rawlings short story of the same name.
