While spending Christmas with sister Jane in New York City, we visited Brad Davis (WHS ‘60) and his wife, Janis Provisor, at their Fort Street Studio [http://www.fortstreetstudio.com/home.html] and saw their wonderful hand-made silk carpets. Brad and Janis design the carpets and have them made at a factory in China. They have show rooms in Hong Kong and Los Angeles in addition to the NYC show room.
I received my Waseca 2008 All-School, All-Year Reunion registration materials in yesterday’s mail. If you are an alumnus of a Waseca school and don’t receive your registration packet soon, contact me to be mailed or emailed a packet or download the registration forms that I’ve posted on the Waseca Alums site at www.WasecaAlums.com.
The LeRoy Shield exhibit at the Waseca County Historical Society will end November 15th so get in there to see it.
LeRoy Shield was born in Waseca October 2, 1893, and died in 1962. He was a teacher, performer, arranger, composer, and conductor. While he was a major American composer, his main claim to fame in my mind was his musical scores for Hal Roach’s Laurel and Hardy and Our Gang/Little Rascals movies, and others.
While you’re at the exhibit, tell the museum staff what you know about the Park and State Theaters and look at the theater sign that’s being restored as well as the theater diorama hanging on the wall and other Waseca theater artifacts.
Museum Exhibit Open:
October 12 – November 15
