I am back from the event and hope to post some of my photos within the week. Lara Parker, Diana Millay, Terry Crawford , Marie Wallace and Roger Davis were in attendance. One of the special moments at the event was a surprise birthday celeberation for Lara Parker. At which a cake was rolled in complete with candles and pix of Angelique as the DS fans sang to her. I will share more about the event when I post my photos.

Welcome home Vam! I do envy your wonderful adventure! do post your story and photo's soon... I am very glad you journey was a safe one. :)

It was great to see you Vam and so many others from the board. I had a great time and was happy the weather held out for Sunday ( a great sunny day at Lyndhurst).
It was great seeing Lara at a smaller gathering and although I had heard some things in the past that made me nervous asking her to sign a book, I found her to be warm, shy and gracious. I also think she had quite a good time dancing at the banquet ( as did our own Profstokes). Smiles were everywhere that night! Vam and I sat at the same dinner table with Diana Millay and that was fun and interesting. Marie and Terry were their usual charming selves and Roger Davis was Roger Davis :-) when he was there. The crowd was much smaller than before and the only problem with that was there was a lack of questions sometimes for the cast to answer but it gave everyone plenty of time small talk and catch up. I only wish there wasn't so much time before the next DS gathering in August!
-
It was nice to see all the board members , who attended
and like Teresa I cannot wait until the next Festival!

Hello, VAM and Teresa! It's good to know that you two made it home safely.
This was quite a weekend, and though it had its share of ups and downs, I'm really glad that I was able to attend. The memories will have to sustain me through the next ten months until Festival 2003. I really do think that DS events should be spread evenly through the year--how about one every three or four months, lol? I hope to begin writing my weekend report soon (though I'll probably just describe a couple of events here and provide a link to a longer report elsewhere) and perhaps even include a few photos.

I'm glad you had a good time, VAM and others from the board! I went 2 years ago to the Halloween event, will probably be the only time I make it there, glad I got to go once.
-
Glad to see y'all made it back safe and sound! Can't wait to hear all the reports! All about the celebs, Lyndhurst and whether or not Bob performed an encore medley of Partridge Tunes! [chrmy]

Nice to hear you all had such a nice time. The Lara part, in particular sounds really nice. Looking forward to the reports!! :)

Hello, VAM and Teresa! It's good to know that you two made it home safely.
Hey ProfStokes, glad to see you made the long journey home to the West safely. I should have my photos by Thursday or Friday so stay tuned...

Has anyone heard from Denise Nickerson lately? I always remember seeing her at a Halloween event that was organized at the Lockwood Mathews House in Connecticut several years ago.
That is nice about the birthday cake for Miss Parker. It sounds like a fun event. I love seeing Terrayne Crawford--she has such marvelous energy. And it's always fun to see what Diana's been up to.

The first day Terrayne and I spent over 4 hours talking to each other. I also had the opportunity to have breakfast with her on Monday before leaving for home.
She is a lovely lady!
I had another interesting few moments where I was the only fan in the room with Lara, Diana, and Terrayne viewing the Lyndhust pre-tour video. The rest of the attendees were in another location being treated to a Q & A with Roger Davis. Looks like I got the better option of the visit.;)

No, he didn't ( I think he was under the weather as were a few others) but I could see that gleem in his eye and knew he was just dying to do it!

Teresalita is right, I was under the weather and retired fairly early as early goes. I did have the urge to sing a Partridge Family song or two, but they failed to play any before I went to bed. :(

Hi Vam, glad you made it back safe! Looking forward to seeing all your pictures!

Bob, I'm clearly way out of the loop (and it's my own fault for not attending DS fan events in such a long time). You now have a Partridge Family act? Got any photos of yourself in Keith Partridge gear? Please don't tell me that you play "Danny." I can imagine the lovely ladies who play Shirley and Laurie.
Can't wait to hear more about your gigs!
I met someone last year who had a bus with the Partridge Family colored panels painted on it.

I think we all had a blast. The schedule was A LITTLE off(Being sarcastic) but I think the best part of the weekend was meeting new people and giggling in the bar with friends.
ProfStokes, I had a great time meeting you. I guess we were both just so busy in LA that we didn't get much of a chance to talk. It's always nice to have someone around who understands my reference to Muppet Babies instead of seeing the blank stares from people mostly 20+ years older than me. But you all know I love you anyway. I left early monday morning so I didn't get a chance to get your email address. If you'd like to email me, I'm Jbrown1977@aol.com
-
If you'd like to email me, I'm Jbrown1977@aol.com
Is this an open invitation?;)

Sure, why not? We're all friends here, right?

I have been trying for days to post and say what a wonderful time I had. But something wrong with my server it is filtering out this site.

Sounds like that part of it hasn't changed!

I wish I could tell you exactly what the problem was, but I can't. It's also happened to me on more than one occasion, and I know the problem is related to my ISP because I can log out of it and log back on to the Internet with another service and get right through to the forum. :-/ I won't say that I'm glad to see that someone else has experienced the same problem, but at least now I know it's not only my ISP. It's also not just the forum because I'm a member of the InformIT Online Books service, and I had a terrible time getting through to them last week with my regular ISP.
My best guess is that Internet congestion is the culprit. There are only so many router paths available. Normally, if one path is clogged with traffic at some point along the way, another less direct path will get you where you want to go. But every once and a while an alternative just isn't available, and the only thing you can do is wait for one to become available. IE tends to time out if it can't get through to a site in a set amount of time, but Netscape will keep trying to find an open path until you stop it from looking. So what I usually do when I really want to get through to a site and I don't have access to an alternative ISP is leave Netscape running and within 10 to 15 minutes it eventually finds its way. (Unfortunately, though, the connection doesn't necessarily last for as long as I 'd like it to, so I have to wait all over again for it to find another path in. :-/)

Well thank you! I will be sending you a copy of that pix of us in costume taken at the event.
-

LOL no , not quite Steve. During a film break at last years Halloween party they were playing retro songs and when "I Think I Love You" came on something possessed me (probably the several dacquiri's I had drank to that point ;>) ) to get up and grab the mic and sing along. I'll leave it to those who were present to grade my performance, but I know Lorraine enjoyed it ;) Bob

Oh Please VAM, may I also have a copy?
:) pretty please? :)

Here is a photo I took over the weekend at the Halloween party in Tarrytown. The photo depicts our very own VAM posing in her costume with Lara Parker. This and other pix from the weekend will soon be appearing on my DS Events site. :)

Vam You look great!!! But who were you suppose to be? Wait, let me guess? Was it BATHIA MAPES!![/b] [kaiokn][kaiokn][kaiokn][kaiokn]
This is a great picture of you and Lara, Vam. And Lara Parker looks as lovely as she did when she played Angelique! She is just ageless.
Thanks for the great photo Bob. :-)

Actually I was trying for an aged Cassandra... The photo depicts before and after Sam Evans touches up Angelique"s portrait.
(Cassandra, I know next to Lara, who always looks wonderful, anyone would look bad. But to suggest I resemble Bathia Mapes...)

Ooh, I see, sorry about the mix-up Vam. I had totally forgotten all about the aged Angelique and the portrait and with the gray wig and black cape, I immediatley thought of[kaiokn] Bathia Mapes.[kaiokn] Thanks for clearing that up for me.
Hey, Bathia Mapes or not, you still looked great! :-)

Riding the coat-tails of this post...For those of you who are interested, I've begun to post my report of the Halloween event at MrJuggins's board, http://pub69.ezboard.com/fdarkshadowsgothicsoapoperafrm1.showMessage?topicID=1376.topic There were a couple of interesting anecdotes during Friday's Q&A session about Grayson Hall and about Joan Bennett among other things. I hope to post Saturday and Sunday later this week. Enjoy!

THIS was a joy to read. So interesting. And DETAILED.
Jeez -- how do you remember all this stuff? Do you take shorthand or use a cassette recorder or something?
I love the anecdotes.
I can't believe you all had to stand on line for 2 hours. I never would have lasted.
Thanks for posting your account. I can't wait for the next installment. It's great for some of us poor, unfortunate souls who can't make it to these events.

Oh...and don't forget to post the link here when you get your next installment written, okay? I don't belong to that message board and I don't want to miss it. Thanks.

Hi Professor, I just finished reading your great report on Tim' s board and I really enjoyed it!! You would really make a good writer or News Reporter! Even after a slow start on Friday night it still sounds like you had a great time!
The ladies of DS are all so gracious and it was great hearing them tell of their fond memories of some of their cast members, especially of the ones who are no longer with us.
Thanks Prof. for sharing this with us unfortunate ones who couldn't attend this year. Im looking forward to the next installent! :-)
-
Beautifully written descriptiuon of the events, Profstokes, as always. I enjoyed every word. Too bad all the men except Roger Davis couldn't make it, but them's the breaks, I guess. I know KLS hated working with Roger Davis, too, so imagine if she had been there! Except for Lara, it sounds like he was most of the ladies' least favorite fella on DS.
Love, Robin
-
Well, at least those 2 hours gave everyone enough time to really get to know each other. And, the next day we got to know each other even more during another 2 or so hours :-) At least the line was more like a cocktail party at times. You could move around and chit chat.
PS- I tried to get a quote on here but after 3 tries, I just gave up.

Your report on the DS Halloween Party was great. I hope you are thinking about a career in Journalism. Loved reading the ladies memories of their time together. Be sure to let us know about the second installment.
-

Teresalita, if you mean you couldn't quote a post, the easiest way is to click "Quote" and edit out whatever text you don't want to use, but leaving everything that's inside the brackets. But if you meant you couldn't copy & paste because right click isn't working, you can click Edit/Copy, then Edit/Paste, or use Ctrl + C then Ctrl + V. Did that help?

Thanks Midnite,
I think I must have edited out a bracket. The quote would show up in my preview but not in a box. I think it was just too early in the morning for me or something :-)

Hey Prof. Stokes! Just got back from Mr. Juggin's board and loved your account of the Friday nite Ladie's panel!
Great to hear their recollections on fellow DS actors as well as others like DeNiro! Whew! HeeHee...can't you hear him say to LP..."you talkin' bout me?"
Bob, don't you remember last year on Sunday after watching NODS that you led the jam to the Partridge tune..."I woke up in love this morning"? All us girls singing along with you? Hmmmm, if you don't, we can blame it on the orange bippies we polished off! Ahhhh, the memories! [wink2]
[shadow=purple,left,300]

"I woke up in love this morning..went to sleep with Q on my mind!" HeeHee!

Of course I remember.:) My most vivid memory of that time is singing I Think I love You and having Lorraine as my personal groupie ;)

Many thanks to all who have read and commented about my first segment! I'm so happy that you liked it! :)
I've just posted the second part of my report. You can access it through the original link (just scroll down) or you can visit my new Tarrytown web site (designed and established by the generous and talented victoriawinters [hello]) The site will feature the complete report of events as well as some of my pictures from the weekend. Currently, it's still under construction, but feel free to drop by and take a look over the next few days to see what's new. http://www.geocities.com/professorstokes2002/index.html
Also, I'd like to encourage the other folks who were in Tarrytown to share their memories as well. It's enjoyable to read everybody's different perspectives of an event. Furthermore, I write these reports from memory and it's very possible that I may have omitted or mis-remembered something about the weekend. I'd love to hear what the rest of you have to say about your experiences, so please step in.

Stupendous! That's not only a wonderful site you have, and the event sounds so interesting and all of the ladies' comments, but once again I'm in amazement at your memory!! How DO you recall all of those details?!!!!
-
Hey Bob, is there a way I can get a copy of the photo of Lara and I (in costume)? I like the one you took of us better than the one taken by someone using my camera.

Of course. E-mail me (Bobubas@aol.com) with your snail mail address and I will be more then happy to send you a copy. I missed Lara's birthday bash, so maybe you could reciprocate with a photo or two from that event? :)

What an awesome site. Great job developing it victoriawinters!! Amanda's detailed account of the weekends activities are worthy of such a great venue. Cheers to the both of you. :)

ProfStokes' Sunday report has been posted on Tim's message board, and of course both are worth checking out. You'll find her day #3/Lyndhurst writeup under "Halloween Party Report!" (well duh, Midnite).
