Said goodbye yesterday to my brother Patrick and his wife Dianne, saying goodbye today to my sister Betty Lynn and Cathy. Now I’m alone again as I continue on my road north (by northwest.) We honored my parents, our history, and the ancestors very well, I think.
After lunch, we went to Greenhill Cemetery in Lemmon to visit the graves of our beloved grandparents Norman Buckley and Eva Myrtle Smith Buckley, as well as our maternal great-grandparents Elmira and Andrew Smith. Then we drove way out into the country to Sholass Cemetery, on the banks of the Grand River, to visit our Irish ancestors and paternal great-grandparents John Buckley and Margaret Considine Buckley.
Today we drove from Rapid City to Lemmon, South Dakota. Lemmon is our father’s hometown and sits on the border of North Dakota. It’s where we visited our grandparents Mom and Pop Buckley every summer as we were growing up. The house where they lived is now long gone, sold to the Catholic Church across the street, after my grandmother was moved into a rest home. The church razed it to make way for more parking. But the sidewalk to the front steps survives and the neighbor’s house still stands. We wandered the town and found that much had changed, and many things hadn’t. We spent some time at the Petrified Wood Park, which has not changed at all since our childhood and which captured our imagination then and now. We had all forgotten how beautiful it is on the open South Dakota plain.
Happy 38th anniversary to the original Royal Shakespeare Company production of CARRIE. Written by Michael Gore, Dean Pitchford, and Lawrence D. Cohen, the electrifying musical made its Broadway bow at the Virginia Theatre (now the August Wilson) on May 12, 1988. It was directed by @thersc artistic director Terry Hands, choreographed by @therealdebbieallen , and starred @linzihateley as Carrie, @blbuckley as Margaret, @ann_triplett as Sue, @charswebnyc as Chris, Paul Gyngell as Tommy, Gene Anthony Ray as Billy, and @darlenelovesings as Miss Gardner. The set was by Ralph Koltai, costumes by Alexander Reid, lighting by Terry Hands, and music direction by Paul Schwartz. The score was orchestrated by Anders Eljas, Harold Wheeler, and Michael Starobin. This production photo of Betty Buckley & Linzi Hateley performing “Evening Prayers” was taken by Peter Cunningham.

“There’s never been a musical like her.”
This morning we brought our mother’s ashes to be with our father at the Black Hills National Cemetery. The tombstone will be redone to include her name on the other side, with the inscription “Journalist. Beloved Wife and Mother.” We are happy our parents are together again.
“She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household
and she is diligent and intentional.
Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her with these words:
‘Many women do noble things, But you surpass them all.’”
—Proverbs 31: 25-29

In my youth, our family would frequently swing by Mount Rushmore, on our summer vacations to see my dad’s parents in South Dakota. Today my siblings and I returned for a journey down memory lane. It’s so much more impressive in person. #SouthDakotaPilgrimage
