Will and Fred are long dead. Laura is in Ohio, and Eva will never see her again. Alma has had a stroke and is in a nursing home near to where AG lives. Eva, age 82, continues to come up to Woods Hole in the summer, living mostly alone at Fernbank, going to Saturday night picnics at Glady's, and going to Highfield Theater one night a week in July and August.

1.
I came across this program as a result of an idle google search. It was at:
The "ocgsp" in the URL must stand for Oberlin College Gilbert and Sullivan Players, so somewhere somebody is maintaining the memory of that organization. 1967 was the next-to-the-last year, I believe, that it spent the summer in Falmouth. When they stopped coming, Robert Haslun, who was with the group (he's listed as General Manager in the program), started the College Light Opera Company (CLOC) in 1969. CLOC is still very much in existence, and I go every summer.
2.
The shows for the 1967 season were: Trial By Jury and The Sorcerer (two by G&S), Die Fledermaus (Johann Strauss), Patience (G&S), The Vagabond King (Rudolf Friml), The Mikado (G&S), The Telephone and The Medium (two by Gian Carlo Menotti), The Grand Duke (G&S), and Iolanthe (G&S). Eight weeks. These days CLOC does nine.
3.
Mrs. Eva Stokey Evans
Miss Gladys Green
Besides Eva and Glady, other friends met at the show every week: Erna Reichmann and my grandmother, Helen Robinson (my grandfather died in July of that summer), and very likely a few others. They went on Thursday nights, but at some point they switched to Tuesday night, the opening night. I was in Woods Hole with my family for a month or two that summer, and I went to matinees. I think that must be only performance I've ever seen of The Grand Duke.
