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.

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)

2008-01-15T14:36:00.000-05:00

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. You just got drawn in by his bright, generous and exuberant spirit, not to mention the fact that he was absolutely hilarious! The man could have a whole room of people in stitches with his antics...

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.
