Ray Bradbury's

Dandelion Wine

Dear Jerry: Jan. 5, 2007

I've just played for the second time your production of DANDELION WINE and it's fabulous.  I'm so very proud of it.  In fact, it made me weep.  In your own way you've told me that I have a chance of part of me living beyond the day that I leave this earth.  This production is simply incredible.
 
I can hardly wait to see what you do with SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES.  I know it will be fantastic.

Please thank everyone involved and let them know that they moved Ray Bradbury to believe in himself and made him weep.
 
God Bless and Happy New Year,

Ray

The Father Brown
Mysteries

The reason is that after years spent in the priesthood, Father Brown knows human nature and is not afraid of its dark side. Thus he understands criminal motivation and how to deal with it.

Starring J.T. Turner as Father Brown.
