Just home from work and thinking about the holidays. I've missed the year-round Christmas music the Big Man used to play. Wherever you are Carlton, happy holidays. I sure do miss you.

Square from Carlton's memorial quilt
The staff and families of CPE are making a quilt--knitted squares, fabric collage and crochet. Not sure when it will be done or what they're going to do with it. This square made by a kid is his class.

Memorial post in the Barksdale Theatre blog (Richmond)
Today the Barksdale Theatre Blog has a nice post about Carlton by Janine Serresseque.
Carlton was one of the first friends I made when I moved to Richmond in 1993. I didn't know a soul, sought out the first community theatre group I could find in order to meet people, and had the good fortune to land at Henrico Theatre Company. Carlton and I were both in a production of Rumours and we became fast friends. I'm sure anybody who knew Carlton was fast friends with him.

First day of school at the classroom Carlton and I referred to as Paradise Island. We were far away from the main Elysian building which made it all the more fun.

Carlton and Joanna (AKA Hosie)took a trip with a friend to Cape Cod. In between revelries we spent some time biking on the Rail Trail. Of course, we got lost.
