When the Fine Arts director of the college in Wisconsin told me he had booked him for the Fine Arts Series the following year, I told him how excited I was to be able to see his performance again and explained about the first meeting so many years earlier. On the night of the performance, the Fine Arts director told me that Mr. Windom wanted me to come backstage after the show. He welcomed me warmly when I knocked on his dressing room door and we shared stories about his visit to the small college in Missouri a decade earlier. He was a kind spirit and I remain a fan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224037410105354251.post-39669411209824006402012-12-22T00:57:25.031-08:002012-12-22T00:57:25.031-08:00When my sister worked at the University of Texas i...When my sister worked at the University of Texas in Arlington as the executor of their auditorium, she always took the stars to dinner before their shows and Mr. Windom was one. She said that he was a wonderfully intelligent dinner companion, and his wit was razor sharp. So sad that we lost him this year. May he RIP. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
