With her smile, knowledge, and charm Marty was the grease that always fixed the squeaky wheel for parents, students, and faculty. Now retired, she still spins her Bement magic. Thank you, Marty.

It was lovely to see Kathy Butler as Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz on the old stage--I think it was the first full play I directed at Bement--Dakaan Abbe as the scarecrow, Stephanie Moekel (sp?) as the lion, Pam Weiler as Toto. I'm blanking on the Tin Man--maybe someone knows?
