I first met Marcy Robin at one of the DS Festivals in NYC during the early 1990s. I told Marcy that I subscribed to her great newsletter, “ShadowGram.” Marcy was extremely gracious and when I told Marcy that there were many teachers in my family, including my mother, Marcy told me of the trials and triumphs she had experienced as a career teacher in Los Angeles.
We corresponded over the years and Marcy very kindly once mentioned in “ShadowGram” that I had vacationed one summer up in Maine, trying to “find” Collinsport along the rocky shores of that beautiful state. As other DS fans have already mentioned, we’ve lost so many DS actors, such as Mitchell Ryan, Christopher Pennock and, most recently, the wonderful Lara Parker. And, on this cherished web site, we have also lost such respected and beloved cousins/posters as my good friends Vera Ann, a/k/a “VAM” and also my Long Island paisan, Raineypark. The news of Marcy’s death this week makes this Christmas season very sad.
May Marcy and all of our departed friends, Rest in Peace.
