<div>Thanks Herrick,</div>
<div>Quite a life……...</div>
<div>I first met Helen (and Herbert, of course) back when I was working on the Opera Company of Boston’s production of Good Soldier Schweik in the spring of 1970. I think I’ve mentioned here before that this was performed in the old hockey rink at Boston College
(McHugh Forum) and the old drill hall/arena at MIT (Rockwell Cage). Just a little set in the round with projection TV ( this in 1970 remember--- Eidophor B&W projectors from the for runner of MIT’s Media Lab) for a screen mid stage with live TV and pre
recorded tape; a train , armored cars, and tanks, built over golf carts….trenches dug into the arena’s dirt floor……. read about it here…. </div>

<div>Just a little magic from Helen and Herbert. The next season in Boston’s of Cyclorama building (also known as the Flower Market) saw no less inspiring design solutions to an impossible space. </div>

<div>In the small world, 6 degrees, department….Helen and Herbert did the Brdwy set and lighting design for What Makes Sammy Run, starring Steve Lawrence. Lawrence's grand daughter is a student here working in my shop. </div>
