Kathy directed many of the plays I was in during high school (including the one I was in with Jennifer Lopez — really!) She took some interesting risks with me including casting me as Jud Fry in Oklahoma (I also played a background dancer in some scenes and I danced with j.Lo in one of them — she was 12 or so at the time) and as the Boy in the Fantasticks. I’ve only talked to her once since I graduated high school in 1986. Despite the distance of years, I am incredibly sad today. Her brother, a New York Fireman, was finally found in the wreckage at ground zero. He was buried yesterday.
