JOHN AND PHYLLIS [McMURRY] TATE ('69): Still theatrical after all these years! On several levels the theatre is still very much a force in their lives.

His colleagues call him "The Professor." Although Phyllis has retired from the dramatic classroom, she still freelances and consults. She manages their small horse farm, and a bit of the theatrical is quite useful in pushing around a 1200 pound high-spirited animal. She also serves on the Board of Directors for a women's theatre group. And then there are their two budding artists in residence: Adam (18) and Emily (16). Both are devoted theatre students. Last summer Adam and this summer Emily participated in the Govenor's School for the Arts in drama, three weeks of intensive professional training.

I'm trying to break into the film industry as actor, writer, or whatever. So far, I've enrolled in an improv class with `The Groundlings,' a sketch comedy troupe, and am looking carefully for an acting class. In the interim, and believe me there is a lot of interim in this industry, I've come up with my stage name, Daniel Cole, using my grandmother's maiden name, and I write screenplays and am working on a sitcom with Matt Clarke and Mike Futia." Dan has been accepted in the MFA program at the Actors Studio at the New School in New York.Daniel L. Stern <salentino@juno.com>
