I met Michael learned this month and just wanted to share the photo. I didn't get to go to the reunion, so this was a real thrill.
I went to see the play she is currently appearing in The Outgoing Tide in Wilmington, DE. I met her in the lobby after the show and she gave me a program signed by her and the cast. We chatted about her dog, which was kept behind that door you see in the photo during the show, and now on a leash jumping up and down. It was very easy talking to Michael and I know I was nervous and even in the photo I guess I look overwhelmed. I knew her dog's name. I knew what country Michael had lived in for a while. I might have spooked her.
She was gracious. We both share a love of animals and their welfare. We never talked about the Waltons, just her dog, and mine. We even discussed my current situation and she commented on it. Advice from Michael Learned. I couldn't believe it was happening.
And then I could see after having her to myself for over 5 minutes, that some others had spotted her and were eagerly waiting, so she shook my hand and I left.
I hope she doesn't mind if I post this photo and if she reads this or it gets back to her, I want to thank her again for her kindness. Her play will be in New York next month. It's a very good play with fine parts. Michael is excellent and so are the others. The theater was small and I was in the 2nd row, almost close enough to touch the stage.
