n the summer of 2001 Molly Krival watched Gale Norton, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior, hand out awards at the House of Representatives Iin Washington, D.C. During the middle of her speech, a two-year-old boy from the audience climbed up onto the stage and put his arms around her leg. Norton didn't blink. "She picked him up and held him in her arms while she contin- ued her talk," said Kriva!. "It was a quick and natural reaction." Norton showed the same type of grace during her visit to "Ding" Darling this past week to honor the Refuge's volunteers. She moved through the day's events on Tuesday, April 23 without ever looking ruffled or uncomfortable.

All four men have appeared in many of JT's original productions and reunite once again to create the magical musical sounds of Forever Plaid. When most of us think of the 1950's we think of rock 'n roll, greasers, hotrods, Elvis, Annette, Fabian, DA haircuts and teenage rebellion. But there was a "flipside" to this era; the side of harmo- ny, innocence and the sincerity of dreams. It is the side that's been lost in the of shuffle of progress. It was a time when most parents and kids listened and danced to the same music, when families par- took of the ritual of gathering in front of the TV to watch their favorite variety shows, like the Ed Sullivan Show or the Perry Como Show. It was a time when every family worked hard to fulfill the American dream. Forever Plaid is filled with great tunes including Three Coins in the Fountain, Cry, Love is a Many Spledored Thing, Day-O, Moments To Remember and much much more. Bring the whole fami- ly. You will love every moment. Performances are Tuesdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. and all tickets aie $20. Tickets may be ordered by calling 472-6862 or stopping by the box office at 1905 Periwinkle Way. Mastercard/Visa accepted. Remember seating is limited.
