I was thinking about Mr J. And the impact he had on my life today. And that brought me here. He taught me so much about the theater at Santa Monica High School. His patience with a bunch of snotty high school students was amazing as was his ability to nurture and develop strengths and provide creative outlets. I was mostly back stage - he asked me to build a tree for an upcoming production. I took that and ran - built him a tree. He taught me so much about acting as well. And with only one small role under my belt, I am forever grateful that he took a chance on me and cast me as Jud in the spring 1981 production of Oklahoma!. That role transformed my high school experience. I did not pursue acting as a profession but have continued to use what he taught me as an avocation. He made high school a better place for me. I’m grateful to have had him as a teacher and mentor.
