FALL 2001 Newsletter - VOLUME # 12
By Chuck Kruger, President
G r e e t i n gs!
It's been quite a while since our last newsletter.
Did you miss it? Didn't think so. Anyway, we've
been so busy on events and client projects that
there hasn't been time to talk about them. |
|
| The mind still can't fully comprehend-- and simple
words cannot express-- the terrible scope of the
tragedies in New York and Washington DC. I expect
that these events will alter all of our lives in
varying but significant ways. Those of us lucky
enough not to lose loved ones must find some way
to see light through the darkness of these despicable
deeds. To those victims and those close to them,
our hearts go out to you. |

Hats off to the Artists…

diverse group of artists. To name-drop just a few: Harry

Barbieri, Bobby Bare, Rustic Overtones, Tony Boffa Band, Turkey

he sustained in a recent car accident.

ER Staff Stuff…
With both kids driving, Dot O'Donnell has to hitchhike
to work from Camden to Thomaston. If you're in the midcoast
and see a sharp-looking executive type with her thumb out
on Rt. 1, consider giving her a lift! … Stacie Mariano
is adjusting well to the rural life, married to her husband
Joe, who Stacie claims is a true domestic goddess and a pretty
good gardener. We assume that when she's talking about his
"can" that she's referring to all the veggies they're
preserving… Caleb Winslow is off to University
of Maine, but promises to continue to help out when he can
on the web site and for production events… We welcome
Mark Strong to our staff! Mark is a graduate of George's
Valley High School and is a gifted DJ and recording producer…
Phil Clement went to guitar camp in Connecticut with
son Sam this summer … Mak Wolven travels to Holland
this Fall on matters of the heart … Mike Burd
worked some events with us this year. His services for us
transcend multi-tasking … Chuck Kruger is serving
as Chairman of the Contemporary Artist Development Committee
of the Maine Arts Commission. He has snuck out of music retirement
for three events this year. One was a surprise 50th birthday
for a good friend (this gig also featured Dave Mallett, Rob
Coffin, Mike Burd, Phil Clement, and Sam Smith) in February;
another was a command performance at The Blaine House in May,
hosted by Maine's First Lady Mary Herman.… And last and
also least is young Marley, a kitten who has joined
Nina the Golden Retreiver as a greeter in the office.
