I was not sure if you were still with the company but wanted to see if I could pick you out just in case. This is the 2007 production,as you know. I decided you were doing either Russian or Chinese. Fill me in will you? I live in Florida ,of all places, now and have not done any theatre in years. I am now a painter . I do Chinese brush painting only as I don't know how to do anything else!!! I had no idea I could paint but always secretly fooled around with brushes and ink when you little kids drove me to distraction! I just wanted you to know how proud we all are of you. I read an interview on the internet and found your ideas bright and intellegent as always. I am sure I was one of those who never encouraged you in dance. I thought you should be a brain surgeon or something as you were a very gifted young boy,if you recall and I knew how tough the world of dance or acting can be. I am so glad to know you ignored me. Lots of love from an old fan. KAC Jim, This is your old (Verrry old) teacher from Cincinnati who just watched the Nutcracker on PBS.
