Studs Terkel remembered in a play- Working- in Chicago

Thanks Diane Massie!

Studs Terkel, the Chicago icon I weakly enmulate in my writing, has passed on a couple of years ago at 96, but there is now a play in Chicago getting good review.




Jeanie and I have excellent and beautiful friends in Chicago and Diane Massie just wrote on my facebook wall that she will soon be seeing the play and thought of me. She knows I wanted to meet Studs, didn't, but did put an email I received from him in my "I, God, & Country" book introduction.



Diane is also the current national President of the University of Kentucky Alumni. She does excellently in whatever endeavor she undertakes. We see Diane and Jill Rappis, the other Chi friend at many UK venues and hope to see both in Catlanta next week for the SEC tournament games.



Thank you madam President! I did not know of the play, but is wonderful that you thought of me with Studs. I am anxious to hear of your thoughts, as a "Big City-Small Town" UK icon, after you see it.
