It's the Holiday Season! (GING)

Hi all! It's Ging just checking in with everyone.

First of all, congrats to the Dozers on your news! I just hope I can be in Louisville sometime in the spring :)

I cannot begin to tell all of you just how excited I am to be coming home for Christmas :) It will have been a year since I last saw many of you, and, especially since I had to miss Boyet and Janice's wedding, I am really stoked about the New Years party!

I got back to the city on closing night of Saigon this past Sunday, and am going through the motions of post-show withdrawal. Fortunately, it hasn't been too bad, as I have been busy with work, auditions, and friends here to distract me the past four days. I'm also very lucky bc I've seen and/or talked to Saigon cast members everyday since I've gotten back.

Our Engineer, who was in the National tour, as well as five other productions of the show said to us that with this show in particular, once you do a production of it, you are in the Universal Saigon family, and, as cheesy as it sounds, it's true. I am so grateful to have been part of it :)

Anyhow, I am looking at flight schedules for my homecoming. I can't wait to see all of you! That's all for now...

Inday Al's brush w/ celebrities

Halloo!

First of all, congratulations Leah and Aaron, I'm so excited that you will be bringing a new member into the Lanceta & Dozer clans! Take care, Leah!

I've been having brushes with fame that I want to share with you all. I went to see Richard Thomas (who played John Boy Walton, pictured below) and he was performing Twelve Angry Men at our Opera House. As I watched the show, I remembered watching The Waltons as a family every Thursday evening. Lola used to say the Waltons were like her family, they even have a youngest Elizabeth. After the show, I waited around to meet him and to tell him how much his work on The Waltons was part of our family. Very exciting! He's very friendly and has soft hands. His family was also very nice.

Then, last week I was asked to have my students perform at a reception for Arlo Guthrie. Arlo Guthrie (pictured below) is an American folk singer/ songwriter. His father, Woody Guthrie, made "This Land is Your Land" famous in the late 40's. Diana Evans, who choreographs most of my shows, had students performing for Arlo Guthrie that night as well and is pictured with "me and Arlo". :-)

We are having a Baby Girl!!!

Aaron and I had our ultrasound today and we are having a baby girl!!! The doctor says that she looks great... Hooray :)

Holidays

Hello Everyone,
Thanksgiving is coming so fast, before we know it, it's christmas time. Then we'd be busy christmas shoooopping..... How fun would that be. But before we get busy with that, let's think of Allan in Iraq. I'm thinking of sending him a care package before christmas. Anybody that would like to send him anything just bring them to Silverbrook and we'll send it together unless you want to send them yourself. That would be fine too. But really, we are taking so many things for granted here and I know he would appreciate it to hear or receive something from the family. I have to ask Karen what she thinks he needs most but I'm sure toiletries,candies, christmas stuff would be welcome. I'll let you know more as soon as I hear from Karen. I would like to send it the first week of December.
We will have Thanksgiving lunch/dinner in Silverbrook. Everyone welcome but please call so we would know who's coming. Also, are we drawing names for christmas? Please give us your input so we can talk about it on Thanksgiving.
Our New Year's Party is in the making. It will be in the same place but haven't finalized it yet. Be thinking of who you're going to invite and let me know. That's all for now, and you all have a wonderful week.
Love,
Tita/Auntie Inday/Beth
