The 'Wizard' is going to be blocked tonight for staging. That's a lot of fun. The only problem will be Elle missing dance rehearsal, but nothing can be done about it. Missing one time really doesn't hurt, and recital is 2 months away. Today also marks 11 years since Dad 'Grandpa Gilby' died. Interestingly, it was opening night for Evita. Elise was in the children's chorus when we got the news, and I was doing make-up. It was a shock and almost surreal. It's true what they say how the show must go on. Elise was already on stage, and I was doing body make-up to make everyone look Argentinian. We really had to keep it together. That was a Tuesday, and on the following Saturday, we had a block of seats for the family for the evening show. The middle seat was empty, and we realized that was Dad's seat. Photos are some of his favorites from the early 50's when he was stationed in Hawaii. He's shown with buddy Glenn Sexton who is the tall one:) Everyone is tall next to Gilby. Back of the picture read, in his hand, "Me and my buddy Glenn. Our hut is shown in back."
