Visitor Comments: Hi
While searching for someone else, found your summerstock series. What a find. Thanks for reminding me of special times in the late 60's.

I attended Ram Island performances 1968, 1969 - and looked forward to seeing Marat with a friend who was a Portland theater critic - yes, the very night that the lead failed to show. I remember well the actors' entering the barn and sitting randomly and tension increasing as time passed. Visually you folks in your raggedy costumes and we in our summer dress attire offered a visual contrast.

I remember his disappearance being explained as something to the effect that "sometimes in theater actors get so involved with their roles, that they lose themselves. The actor found himself driving to NY and there he is at the current time. There will be no performance tonight". Needless to say, there was no theater review in the paper the next day.

Thanks for the other side - an actor's perspective. 40 yrs later!

RI was such a treat - the farm buildings and its naturalistic setting, parking in a pasture or field. Loved every minute of it.

Best wishes .......

I HAVE CONTACTED SOME OF MY COUSINS ON THE DURHAM-SIDE OF THE FAMILY.  I SENT THEM THE LINK TO THE DURHAM PAGE.  THEY CAN PROBABLY PROVIDE UPDATES TO IT.  WHO WOULD THEY SUBMIT THEM TO?

Hi Paul,


I very much enjoyed reading your 'Summer Stock' series! Though I no longer live at Ram Island Farm, I was once married to Milly Monks' daughter, Melinda, and know and in some cases still see on a regular basis many of the individuals you mention, including Ellen Higgins, Bobby & Melinda Monks, Kate & Charlotte Higgins, Marge Dunham, David Goulet, and so on. I first came to RIF in the early 80's, but even then the locals spoke wistfully of the RIF summer theater. The old barn is still there, though parts have been rebuilt completely, and I suspect that there's some of the old lighting and other theatrical rigging still in place. Some years later Bobby Monks took over the old Odd Fellows Hall in Portland and converted it into a small but first rate theater for the Portland Stage Company and the modern dance company Milly started in the years after the old theater ceased to exist - Ram Island Dance, of course! In any case, your writing is wonderful, and makes those days come alive, and I will be sure to share the link with Milly as well.


Many thanks, and best wishes, Ric Marshall

Visitor Comments: am just starting to trace Dad's side of the family. I know his father came from Germany, Jacob Roth. I also know that Jacobs father and a brother came over to America. I know his mother and an older brother stayed in Germany. The mother was sick and the brother was inducted in the army.  I am not sure what Jacobs fathers name was.
