Herb Emanuelson 1982

I'll always be grateful to Betty Lou for the start of my love of Shakespeare. His plays were just (confusing) words on a page...until she got us reading "Hamlet" aloud in class. Then, it all came alive for me. And, I still have such fond memories watching the emotion she would exude when she would read. Thanks Betty Lou, I've acted in "The Tempest" in high school (directed by Helen Sheehy), took college classes (which led to meeting my wife), and seen so many amazing performances. I still volunteer my marketing/PR time to help stage the Greater Hartford Shakespeare Festival and coordinate a monthly Shakespeare Book Club in West Hartford.
