Well it's all relative of course. Private schools don't require the certificate for the most part.
Fran was teaching while getyting his education degree after he left FC so he did it right unlike some of us though back in the day you would not have thought he would have done that.
I took Westhavers words to heart and got jobs in my hobbies a lot instead of my major . Never had the time to pursue the artistic printmaking but maybe I will do that now.
I was not sure if I had seen the Hostage as that was a busy year for me so maybe you are right and it was the fall semester. I was still in the area for a while working at the Courrier then left. Now I'm wondering if Ihave my dates wrong as well. Might be I graduated in 73 and was just in the area in 74. I did work for Troll Press in st. J first before the Courrier and did some printing for students at the college for a while as well.
Eventually I came back down here to NJ took a year to go fishing and think things over before I got involved with the theatre which was in 79 I think. Somewhere I have info for that in storage with names of all the people I worked with and so forth.
Paul Barry who ran the program asked me if I would come back the next year and run the shop but it would have been as an unpaid volunteer and I really needed to make money so had to decline. It was a full time job and in my case also extrended hours because I waqs going the extra mile to keep the actors safe as sets do have problems while in use that need to be dealt with of course. Can't have people tripping over their own feet because a nail pops up or something gets loose.

Loved the trick for making the surfaces less slippery using Hudson sprayers and coke. sticky sugar water for traction. the Hamlet set had ramps of course as it was a castle.
We also did Rosencranz and Guildenstern on the same set.
