While it’s challenging to replicate that festive spirit through an online event – we’re doing our darndest to do just that! In addition to sharing the customary patient and provider stories, and honorary and memorial tributes, we’ve added celebrity appearances and performances created especially for the Cancer Foundation for New Mexico’s virtual event. With our online accessibility, we are excited to reach many new supporters who can join us from afar – welcome to the family!

    August, 2005 Re: The Evolution of The Pilates Method: The Fletcher Work™ To Whom It May Concern, The Fletcher Work is the authentic evolution of the Pilates’ method. To be accurate and legitimate, any journalistic inquiry into contemporary Pilates must necessarily include this dynamic contribution. On behalf of The Ron Fletcher Company, I encourage you to take time to review the enclosed materials. Pilates is more than a contemporary fitness phenomenon. It is an extraordinarily effective conditioning method — nearly a century in development — whose time has finally come. Joseph Pilates’ original principles were absolutely sound, yet his wife, Clara, referred to her husband’s original work as “just the tip of the iceberg.” The development and evolution of the Pilates method over the last 35 years has been, in large part, the result of the work and vision of Ron Fletcher, their protégé and student for nearly three decades. Since Joseph PIlates’ death in 1968, no other individual has played a more pivotal role in the evolution and popularity of the Pilates method. Now in his eighties, Mr. Fletcher is one of only three such masters still teaching the Work. Should you have any questions regarding the enclosed information, or should you wish to pursue a related project, please do not hesitate to contact me. In addition to being one of the great luminaries of the Pilates world, Ron Fletcher is also very much alive, well and active… and he’s a great interview. Sincerely, Kyria Sabin encl The Ron Fletcher Company™ . POB 64971 . Tucson, AZ 85728-4971 . 520.323.7070 .

  • Love Letters at the Wallis Directed by Gregory Mosher 16 Performances Only! Oct 13 to 25, 2015
    NEWS RELEASE Legendary Hollywood Stars ALI MACGRAW & RYAN O’NEAL Star in A.R. Gurney’s Love Letters At The Wallis Directed by Gregory Mosher 16 performances only! Oct 13 to 25, 2015 Beverly Hills, CA – (Sep 11, 2015) – They made history 45 years ago when they starred in Love Story, the most talked about film of its day--Ali MacGraw and Ryan O’Neal now reunite for Love Letters, a special theatrical tour that will make its official tour launch at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts. Love Letters by celebrated American playwright A.R. Gurney is an enduring romance about first loves and second chances. It will perform Tuesay, Oct 13 through Sunday, Oct 25, (press opening Oct. 14), onstage at the Bram Goldsmith Theater at The Wallis. Love Letters is directed by two time Tony-winning director Gregory Mosher. Critical praise for Love Letters began in July during the U.S. tour’s preview Florida engagement. “The forever-linked co-stars of the 1970 movie Love Story are delivering something more than Gurney’s 1988 play: long-ago cinematic love and loss, nostalgia, the easy warmth of long-time friends,” said the Miami Herald. “In between, O’Neal and MacGraw bring Gurney’s rich characters to life in heartbreak and tears (and with lots of audible gasps from the audience). Certain truths about the heart don’t change. And neither do the chemistry and charisma of the Love Story/Love Letters stars.” About Love Letters Love Letters is the story of Andrew Makepeace Ladd III (O’Neal) and Melissa Gardner (MacGraw), two young people from similar backgrounds who take very different paths in life.

Nicholson, Jack’s namesake and maybe even his father, a soft little dapper Irishman in glasses. He kept neatly combed what was left of his red hair and had long ago separated from Jack’s mother, their high school romance gone the way of any available drink. They told Jack that John had once been a great ballplayer and that he decorated store windows, all five Steinbachs in Asbury Park, though the only place Jack ever saw this man was in the bar, day-drinking apricot brandy and Hennessy, shot after shot, quietly waiting for the mercy to kick in.

  • Stars of Stage, Screen ... and Freshman Biology
    September 11, 2005 Stars of Stage, Screen ... and Freshman Biology By THOMAS VINCIGUERRA WHEN students returned for the fall semester at Brown in Providence, R.I., last week, many came fresh from vacations spent working as government interns, editorial assistants or in other entry-level positions. But Leelee Sobieski, movie star and Brown undergraduate, had a different experience. She spent the summer in Vancouver, British Columbia, shooting the fantasy movie "Dungeon Siege" with Burt Reynolds, Ray Liotta and John Rhys-Davies. "It's a big, crazy thing," she said in a telephone interview from Canada. "I'm dressed in beautiful princess clothes and locked away in a castle." Ms. Sobieski, whose film credits include "Eyes Wide Shut" and "Never Been Kissed," is just one of a wave of young actresses pursuing not just work and fame but a top liberal arts education, too. And often they find that trying to have it all is a challenge. Ms. Sobieski, with the filming still not complete, is taking this semester off. The roster of matriculating actresses has star quality. In the spring Julia Stiles graduated from Columbia. Natalie Portman received her degree from Harvard in 2003. Earlier, Claire Danes attended Yale. The list goes on: Reese Witherspoon, Stanford; Maggie Gyllenhaal, Columbia; Elizabeth Banks, University of Pennsylvania; Anna Paquin, Columbia. And then there are the Olsen twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley (New York University, '08). Actresses with bachelor's degrees are nothing new, going back to Katharine Hepburn (Bryn Mawr, '28). Her heirs include Ali MacGraw (Wellesley, '60), Meryl Streep (Vassar, '71) and Sigourney Weaver (Stanford, '72).
