Jay Sherlock

I first met Jay in the fall of 1997. I was doing props for the show “Flaming Idiots”. Jay was one of the actors in the show. I remember it as being 4 weeks of some of the best fun I had ever had. Jay was the kind of actor that was always telling jokes and making the work enjoyable.

Over the last 10 years I have worked with Jay in several productions at Stage Coach Theater and had the fun of watching him perform in numerous plays around town. He was always great.

I remember when Jay had returned from New York from visiting his son. He was very excited about having seen the Producers on Broadway. We talked for over an hour about New York, Broadway and the Producers. I later saw the same show at the Morrison Center but I know from talking to Jay his experience was so much more then mine.

Jay died yesterday at 86. The Statesman has a good right up on him at http://www.idahostatesman.com/ourtowns/story/308725.html, but it does not really tell you what a great guy he was. I will miss him more then I can say. The world is a bit smaller place without him in it.

Goodbye Jay, and thanks for the memories.

Harvey

I went to see the play Harvey on Thurs. It was put on by a community theater here in Caldwell. The lead actor was execellent. I have seen him do Jekyl and Hyde on stage in Boise and he is always a treat. The rest of the cast was Ok, but it is tough when you have someone like Gregg Irwin in the lead. It makes it that much harder for everyone else on stage to look good.
I went with Kim and Kevin. We went to dinner and then went to the play. It had just started to snow and it snowed on us all night. I hate snow. I hate driving in snow. I do, however always have a good time with Kim and Kevin.
BTW: Kevin happy birthday. If I would have know I would have bought dinner and the play tickets instead of just dinner.
