 Attended Drexel University’s Musical Theatre Showcase where Nicolas performed “Maria” from “West Side Story” (sorry, video issues only allowed me to capture the last half of the song). Blessed to continue to watch Nic’s love for performing, and can’t wait for his upcoming show as he joins the cast of Urinetown at Drexel in May. 

Damari was excited to serve as Assistant Director for this years' production of "The Addams Family" musical at Pennsbury High School. The music was great, the show was funny and heartwarming and the kids - well they are just so talented.

Spent an afternoon helping out at the Pack 4 Pinewood Derby and realized how old I am since it was way back in 2009 that we attended our first Pinewood with Anthony and Nicolas at Pack 10 (some throwback pics included). Always a fun day watching the kids enjoy the races!

Thanks for those who reached after my Mom passed away peacefully in hospice after a rough couple of weeks health-wise. As much of a fighter as she’s been over the years while tackling her health issues, this time there were just too many obstacles for her to overcome. She lived her life loving her family with everything she had, especially once she became a grandma to both my kids as well as my brother’s daughter. I’m including a small number of photos that invoke such great memories with her. Christmas was always special to her. Going back to when my brother and I were young she always made sure we were more than happy with Santa’s visit, and that carried through to her grandkids as well. Her other love was Halloween with the kids, and there are just so many memories of great costumes and trick-or-treating with them. One of the things she enjoyed (and thrived at) was cooking, and nothing made her happier than making a great meal for everyone, along with watching them enjoy. Some of her specialties, especially lasagna, eggplant parm, and her infamous meatballs (that no one including me to this day can ever replicate) were enjoyed by not only our family, but while growing up her food was often shared with me and my brother’s friends who would always enjoy when she was feeding anyone that came by our house. She was resilient through adversity in her life, and was always there to listen or give advice, and there’s so much that she taught me through life that helped me navigate through as a son and father. I know that she is at peace now and will miss her tremendously. She gave us all so much love and great memories that she’ll always be with us. Again, thanks to those of you who reached out, and I appreciate all the warm thoughts and prayers..

Imagine OUR suprise reading the 2025 International Thespian Guide and finding a picture from the Theatre Educators Conference Damari attended recently in Minneapolis.  That was such a fun time with some pretty awesome people!  Great memories!
