This is farce - a Moliere. Our friend and neighbor Mark Lin Baker has the lead in this ensemble - the preposterous hypchondriac with intestinal difficulties. Closes June 29 at the Red Bull Theater.
My friend Russ Hoyle was a journalist [senior editor at TIME], author, sailor, husband to Ellen Howe, father of Henry, father-in-law to Laura Shen, and grandfather to Thomas, Benjamin, and Louise.
We lost Russ on April 10, celebrated him June 14 at St. David Church ( D.C.), and the Cosmos Club (D.C.).

My parents were both officers in the United States Navy. My father George, Lieutenant, J.G. commanded US 1355 on Atlantic coast convoy duty. My my mother, Ensign Clare was a communications officer at Norfolk, Va. When they died memorial plaques were placed in public places - at the Santa Barbara municipal glof course; and the Clare Conk houses on the board of which she served.
Mom and Dad were cremated. We cast their ashes at sea - in the Santa Barbara Channel where we were surrounded by hundreds of migrating southbound dolphins.
