Dear Friends,
Various people have been scrambling to try to get together details,
and we've finally got a plan for March 12. Below is the information.
Please feel free to share with anybody who might be interested in
coming out to Winedale (or joining in Austin for the evening
component). I'm back in the classroom on March 15, so I won't be at
Winedale for the rose planting, but Kathryn and I will be in Austin
March 9-13, and I will be very glad to see some of you!
Matt

The friends and family of Lizz Ketterer will gather to celebrate her
life on Saturday, March 12, from 1-4 pm, at the barn at Winedale, FM
2714, near Round Top, Texas (take FM 1457 east from Round Top for two
miles, then turn left on 2714; the theatre barn parking lot will be on
your right after about a mile).
In the spirit of Lizz, this event is open and welcoming to anyone who
loved her, and will be an informal afternoon full of stories,
laughter, and music. Please plan to gather in the barn at 2pm for a
shared program.
Bring food and drink to share, a lawn chair or two or a picnic
blanket, a musical instrument if you're so inclined, good stories, and
your singing voice.
In addition, there will be a gathering in Austin on Saturday evening,
from 8pm on. Details to come.
Please contact Christa French for more detailed directions or with any
questions. She can be reached at (512) 921-2923 or christafrench(a)gmail.com
If you would like to contribute any digital photographs of Lizz,
please send them to James Loehlin at jnloehlin(a)mail.utexas.edu

Tara and Lizz in Barn dressing room, 2010 Reunion Day
Hey everyone --
I tried sending this earlier, but got a msg that it'd bounced back -- trying again.
James called this morning to let me know that Lizz had passed away yesterday at a hospital in Albuquerque.
She'd had another seizure of some kind. I'm not sure if she ever awoke from the coma.
Some friends and Winedalers are gathering tonight (Sunday) at the Dog & Duck at 8 p.m. to be together and share remembrances. I think there are plans for memorial gatherings upcoming.
I believe her ashes will be scattered at Winedale by her mother and sister sometime next week. I don't know the details on that yet.
Susan sent me this photo -- if others have good photos from this summer, or other times spent with Lizz, could you begin gathering them? I'm sure someone will be working on a memorial board of some kind for the Barn for this spring and summer.
my best to everyone,
clayton
