an interesting magazine made its debut about
a year ago. nny Living tends to focus on the
watertown area, but the november/December
issue had a nice article about the Ogdensburg
community players, founded in 1963 by
Frank
Schwartz
.
t he goal of the Ocp was to bring cul-
ture to Ogdensburg and the north country, and
Frank had many adventures in his efforts to do so,
including buying 40 bras so that the dancers of
Ballet africans could perform on the Ogdensburg
Free academy stage. as the shows became more
and more popular, the organization became dif-
ficult for its volunteer board to manage, so in
1992
the group became Ogdensburg command
performance and celebrates its 50th anniversary
with the 2012-13 season. well-deserved plau-
dits to Frank, who spends most of his time in
st.petersburg, Fla., but surfaces for the seaway
Festival every summer.
it was nice to receive a cheerful note from Bar-
bara and
HaroldWilder
.
Despite the various sur-
geries and illnesses that seem to go with our age
group, they keep busy with family, friends, church
activities and Lions. t hey enjoy life in port char-
lotte, Fla.
Unfortunately, all the other mail i have received
is obituaries:
Bud Barnett, Jack Barron, Emer-
son Forbes, Joyce Kruger Ringo, Josie Durland
Van Slyke
.
Our numbers will be smaller, but i
hope our spirit will still be strong at r eunion.

i received a letter from r obert stolarik,

were not at r eunion was that Marilyn had fallen

conversations with her, and she lives nearby in at-
lantic Highlands, n.J. i called her and apologized
and we had a wonderful long talk about the old
times and how she and i hadmade it throughHur-
ricane sandy without trees falling on our homes.
