It gives an important history of the development of theatre and the Rep Season that I wasn't aware of and I am sure others as well. Winston used to like to take credit for my involment in the Rep Season. He would always say, "I am responsible for her being here." And he was. After I relocated to Nassau from Grand Bahama, Winston was the only person I remembered from when we (The Grand Bahama Players) came to Nassau to perform "The Landlord." I called him and told him I was interested in acting in Nassau and he had me come out to the auditions of "Blues for Mr. Charlie." And, as they say, the rest is history. I have been absent from all of the memorials for Winston because I have a difficulty handling death. It's hard for me to attend such events. So I memorialize individuals in my own way. Nevertheless, he was a brilliant man and a great Bahamian and his talent will be sorely missed! I think the work that is now going on to continue his dream is awsome. If there is anything I can do to assist please don't hesitate to ask. While I have the opportunity to express myself I would like to do so while you are alive. I think you are another great Bahamian with awsome talent! YOu may not have noticed but you are the only director I have ever acted with in Nassau. Others may not know it but that is intentional. All the best to you Philip and your efforts! This was a beautiful story Philip, and I am glad you shared it.
