With great admiration and affection to all who make the Hudson Valley Dance Festival a brilliant, joyful reality here on the banks of the Hudson.
Now my home, just a few miles away, across Rt. 23.
With a special salute to Denise Roberts Hurlin, Nathan Hurlin, Danny Whitman and the impeccable Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS staff and volunteers.
This year, an autumn vacation takes me overseas. I’ll see you all again in 2026.
Love,
