The chances of you remembering me are probably nil. My wife stumbled across you on YouTube. "Hey! You knew Tom Benner!" I met you during the first drama workshop in Simi Valley (1968?) I was in Rumpelstiltskin, you playing the title role. Also in the cast was the lovely Linda Lamunyon, Steve Audelo, Barry Langston, Bruce Frisbe, Robin Bonus, Glenn Broiler, and yours truly, Errol Hale. Our director was Mary Lee Hicks. That summer was a bit of a turning point in my life.

I was also friends with your sister, Jennifer.

Thanks for the memories...
