DO YOU KNOW THE FREDERICK COUNTY CONNECTION TO JOHN McCRAE?
John McCrae’s moving poem “In Flanders Field” will be read in schools, ceremonies and privately throughout the nation this week for Veterans Day, but what local folk might not know is the Canadian poet and physician has ties to Frederick County. McCrae spent a portion of his medical residency at Garrett Hospital in Mount Airy, working with children before interning at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. Visit the Mount Airy Museum, run by the Historical Society of Mount Airy, to see an exhibition and learn more about his time at the Robert Garrett Sanatorium.
BEATLEMANIA HITS FREDERICK
You might have heard, The Beatles released their final song last week, with a little help from AI (yeah, we don’t know how we feel about that either). Check out the video for “Now and Then” — the perfect prep for “Yesterday and Today: The Interactive Beatles Experience,” which will come to the Weinberg Center on Nov. 15. Each show is a unique performance of Beatles songs as requested by audience members beforehand and performed by a live band made up of brothers whose father turned them on to the music of The Beatles at a young age. They believe everyone has a story or memory attached to the legendary music of the Fab Four, and they want to share that magical timeless quality of the band with you.
PICASSO ON DISPLAY IN HAGERSTOWN
The wonderful Washington County Museum of Fine Arts, nestled in Hagerstown’s City Park, will open a traveling exhibition this week of works on paper by Pablo Picasso. This marks the first time since the ’70s that work by this legendary artist has been on display at the museum. “Picasso on Paper” premiered at Brenau University in Georgia in September 2022, and Hagerstown is one of five stops in the country on its tour. Catch a preview of it on Nov. 9, or see the show when it officially opens Nov. 11. It will remain on view through March 3.
ARE YOU READY FOR CHEESEBALLS? GET IN LINE.
These Frederick church ladies are at it again. Every year, volunteers at Calvary United Methodist Church gather to make hundreds of cheeseballs ahead of their annual Holiday Bazaar. The church itself has a long and storied history — more than 250 years of it, in fact — and the annual event has become a popular family tradition in town, garnering a history of its own. According to volunteers, these Frederick-famous cheeseballs sold out in 45 minutes last year, so if you want your chance at getting your hands on one, arrive early. The bazaar starts at 9 a.m. Nov. 11. And, you know, if you miss out on cheeseballs, you can check out lots of other gifts and decorations to take home for the holidays while you’re there — crocheted and knitted items, dog treats, jewelry, gift jars, homemade jams and other goodies.
CELEBRATE MARYLAND’S RYE WHISKEY HERITAGE
The Rye Revival in Baltimore this weekend will celebrate Maryland’s whiskey heritage and rye whiskey’s recent recognition as the official state spirit. Frederick’s own Tenth Ward Distilling will be onsite at the event, which runs Nov. 10 to 12 across multiple venues. This week’s UnCapped podcast features Tenth Ward founder Monica Pearce, who talks about the event, as well as the upcoming ’20s-themed Holiday Speakeasy Market in Frederick.

Tenth Ward Distilling talks Holiday Speakeasy Market and the Rye Revival
In this episode of the UnCapped podcast, host Chris Sands talks with Tenth Ward Distilling Co. founder Monica Pearce about the upcoming Holiday Speakeasy Market in Frederick and the Rye Revival in Baltimore, plus everything going on these days at Tenth Ward. Here is an excerpt of their talk. UnCapped: Today I’m joined by Monica Pearce, founder, owner — and distiller, right? Monica Pearce: I can distill, if needed, but we have a distiller and a fantastic team right now. UnCapped: You’ve moved on from needing to do that. Pearce: Right. UnCapped: We are hosting a Speakeasy Market in December, if you want to go over that real quick. Pearce: Yeah, and I’ll give some little sneak peaks into what we’re gonna do. Our front of house facility is located in downtown Frederick, where we have a cocktail bar and tasting room and also a beautiful event venue. In that venue is where we’ll be hosting the annual Holiday Market, but this year, we’re gonna do something a little different. We’re hoping to keep this on theme and trend every year, because it’s always around Repeal Day, so we decided to do a Prohibition Repeal Day speakeasy theme for our Holiday Market this year, which makes it a little more fun. We can encourage support for the craft beverage industry as well. We can get a few breweries, distilleries, wineries and other beverage folk ... people who produce cocktail mixers, glassware, kombucha, things like that. That’s why we decided to reach out to UnCapped podcast to co-host it and work on it together. Maybe we’ll do some live podcast recording or some promotional stuff while we’re there. UnCapped: We’ll do all kinds of cool stuff. Pearce: There will also be some local artisans, gift baskets — anything from cheese to flowers. We might even have a live T-shirt screen-printing from the Special Tees. UnCapped: I enjoy watching that process. It definitely makes the apparel purchasing process even more fun, when you get to see them made on demand. Pearce: Side note, if you buy them

If you are at all into rye whiskey … Pearce: ... or just supporting Maryland — Maryland farms, Maryland craft beverage scene … it’s pretty neat. Brief history of Maryland rye, preProhibition: Rye was a large good that was manufactured here in the state. There were hundreds of distilleries — registered and not — making rye … because you would just have guys back in their barns, making rye. UnCapped: If I remember correctly, Chris Sands it’s because rye was what was prevalently grown in Maryland, and Tenth Ward Distilling Co. founder Monica Pearce. that’s why it became what we used a whole ‘20s-themed party to welcome here to make whiskey. Pearce: Correct. Rye was grown people back into the taproom.

Cacique Restaurant in downtown Frederick
C
acique Restaurant in downtown Frederick is back and brighter than ever. The well-known Spanish and Latin American establishment closed for renovations back in February and reopened to diners in mid-June. Gone are the old, dark carpets and maroon walls. The dining area now features an orange and blue color scheme, accented with champagnecolored tiles and light hardwood flooring. Behind the bar, back-lit shelves
display a wide selection of tequilas and wines used to make Cacique’s fruity margaritas and sangrias. Milton Hernandez, a manager at the restaurant for more than a decade, said returning diners are often wowed by the new look. “Some people even say that they don’t even feel like they’re in Frederick, because Frederick is known for a more historic feeling.” Hernandez hopes the new and improved Cacique will appeal to a younger
crowd looking for social events and a nightlife scene. The restaurant recently hosted a costume party, complete with decorations and seasonal drinks, like the Cold-blooded Marg, which was served in a faux IV bag. “We’re trying to get creative,” Hernandez said. “We want people to not just come and eat with us but actually experience something different from what you’d probably find elsewhere in the city.” — Ceoli Jacoby

A night of song, stories and laughter with Alan Cumming and Ari Shapiro

Alan Cumming and Ari Shapiro will bring their two-man show, “Och & Oy! A Considered Cabaret,” to the Weinberg Center for the Arts in Frederick on Nov. 11.
Alan Cumming and Ari Shapiro will bring their twoman show, “Och & Oy! A Considered Cabaret,” to the Weinberg Center for the Arts this month. The show is a thoughtfully curated cabaret experience that brings together two engaging and charismatic performers. Alan Cumming, celebrated for his Tony Award-winning role on Broadway in “Cabaret” and his Emmy-nominated role on “The Good Wife,” joins forces with Ari Shapiro, the acclaimed journalist and co-host of NPR’s “All Things Considered.” Together, they create a vibrant tapestry of music and storytelling that explores their own diverse backgrounds and the universal themes that connect us all. “I’ve got to know Ari over the last few years, both socially and when he interviewed me for a couple of events,” Cumming said. “The last time was an evening in D.C., and by the end of it, I realized our
chemistry and the unusual combo of us, as well as the fact that Ari has an amazing voice, would make for a really great cabaret show. And kapow! We’re doing it! What I love most is it’s fresh and ever-changing.” “When Alan first suggested that we create a show together, I didn’t quite believe him,” Shapiro added. “Then as we started to dig into this collaboration, I realized how much our professional lives actually complement each other. We’re both storytellers who try to help audiences better understand themselves and the world around them. This show lets us explore those shared ideals onstage together, through stories and songs.” The show starts at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 11. Tickets start at $35 and are available at weinbergcenter.org, by calling the box office at 301600-2828, or in person at 20 W. Patrick St., Frederick.

10 am - 5 pm
I had another birthday a couple of weeks ago. It feels odd to be able to look behind me over decades. I tend not to get sentimental about younger times — I’m much happier now, able to give more to my community, better off financially, etc. But the discovery that began in my 50s and keeps unfolding for me every year is just how much there is to learn! For example, I’ve decided 2023 is the year to learn the basics of singing. You know, how to work your diaphragm, breathe, modulate your projection, move sound from your chest to your head. The nuts and bolts. It’s amazing, the tunes our bodies can produce. I’ve learned a lot since my early 50s: how to make art and work with oil paint, how to frame paintings, how to self-publish poetry books, how to make all kinds of home repairs and whom to call for others, how to tend a garden that has no grass, how to interact better with neighbors, how to not jump to conclusions so readily, how to imagine life in someone else’s shoes, how to grow figs and asparagus, how to better identify what might be my “gifts” and how to share them, how to get lost in reading a book, and on and on. So much more to work on and learn! All that is needed is time. Sheryl Massaro is a Frederick poet and oil painter. She holds an MFA in creative writing from The American University. Recently, she has completed Rainer Maria Rilke’s “Duino Elegies: An Interpretive Translation,” thanks to support from the Frederick Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts. Massaro will be signing this book and her new book of poems on water, “afloat: a raft of water poems,” on Dec. 2 at the FAC/Hurwitz Gallery, 1 N. Market St., Frederick, during First Saturday.

Little-known local connection to ‘Flanders Field’ poet John McCrae explored by historians
BY ERIN JONES
Special to The News-Post
IF YOU GO
We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields.
The Mount Airy Museum, run by the Historical Society of Mount Airy, is currently featuring an exhibition about the Garrett Sanatorium, with information about John McCrae’s contributions. Learn more at historicalsocietyofmountairymd.org.
With these words from his poem “In Flanders Field,” Canadian poet and physician John McCrae painted a vividly humanizing picture of the ultimate sacrifice made by his fellow WWI soldiers. The poet transports readers to Flanders Field, where a sea of crosses and blowing poppies mark the lives bravely sacrificed. The now famous words have resounded in classrooms around the world, as well as in Remembrance and Veterans Day ceremonies, and white crosses and red poppies have become symbols of honor for fallen heroes. While these were some of his more famous words, McCrae wrote prolifically in both poetry and prose about his life and medical career. One of the lesser known subjects of his writing? Mount Airy, Maryland. Nearly two decades before the first World War would take him to the trenches of Belgium, McCrae was a medical student at the University of Toronto, better known to his colleagues as “Jack.” He spent the summer of 1897 in residency at the Robert Garrett Sanatorium in Mount Airy. Of Mount Airy, he wrote in the article “The Comedy of a Hospital,” “Away up in the hills of Maryland, where there is a little bit of sunshine, storms, fresh air, and glorious views, is a hospital, maintained by the generosity of one of America’s most benevolent women, where the children of the poor are carried away during the summer months to receive such attention as the most careful asylum of nursing makes possible.” The generous and benevolent woman he references refers to Mary Garrett, wife of Baltimore and Ohio Railroad President Robert Garrett and prolific philanthropist in the medical field. A woman of both wealth and generosity, she was the operator of several medical facilities, including the Robert Garrett Hospital for Children in Baltimore. According to Rodney Carr, researcher at the Mount Airy Museum, where a current exhibition features McCrae, an 1886 trip to England inspired Mrs. Garrett to expand her Baltimore Children’s hospital into a sum-
able insight into life in the Sanatorium. Though McCrae only worked in residence at Mount Airy for one summer, he did return to Baltimore to intern in 1899. In his research, Carr has found evidence in photographs and writing that McCrae returned to Mount Airy to visit and stayed in touch with his former colleagues. Even after his death in 1918, a nurse with whom McCrae shared, in Carr’s words, a “mysterious connection” from his days in Mount Airy, paid a visit to his family. The Garrett Sanatorium closed in 1922. In the years that followed, the facility would house a Lutheran Children’s home and then a tea house before sitting vacant. While none of the facility’s buildings still stand, a private residence in the vicinity holds an original pavilion roof from the Sanatorium. The memory of those summer days remains in writings and photographs assembled like pieces of a puzzle by historians like Carr, the members of the Mount Airy Historical Society and the Guelph Museums. The Garrett Sanatorium was “much more than just a children’s hospital that handled sick kids,” Carr said. “It has its own little character in and of itself, with so many intricate connections of people. I think people would Wikimedia Commons be surprised to read more about the doctors that served there.

Drunk riding mower drivers got nuthin’ on ol’ No Show Jones
Special to The News-Post
It is one of the best-known stories ever to come out of country music: The time the great George Jones, spun up on the booze and, well, jonesin’ for more, had his car keys snagged by then-wife Tammy Wynette, only for Tammy to find George had mounted the 5-mph riding mower for a successful booze run to town. The story is so iconic that Vince Gill felt compelled to give it a nod about 15 years ago in the video for “One More Last Chance,” even corralling ol’ George himself for a cameo on the fabled John Deere STX38. (Not the only time that’s happened in county video land, but I think the best. I remember when I first saw it, on a TV at a bar in Northwest Arkansas. Howls of laughter and fist pumps all around.) More recently, Mike Judge had fun with it in “Tales From the Tour Bus.” Go to Jones’ old Nashville depot Colonial Liquors and, a la Judge, it’s immortalized on an outside mural there, too.

Boyer Nurseries and Orchards reopens Boyer Cellars in Biglerville
Boyer Nurseries and Orchards in Biglerville, Pennsylvania, recently reopened Boyer Cellars winery. The Boyer Family and their new partners, Kim and Rich Capozzi of Screaming Bambino wines, will be creating and developing new fruit wines, using their combined expertise and fruit trees of Boyer Nurseries and Orchards. Boyer Nurseries, with an over 100year legacy and expertise in fruit trees and specialty tree grafting, sits just outside historic Gettysburg in picturesque Adams County, where there are thousands of acres of fruit trees and farmlands. Coming to the Boyer farm is a new agritourism experience, including advice for landscaping and garden design. Guests can try specialty wines while experiencing the farm, which includes a landscaping business with a garden center and nursery, as well as a farmer’s market. The Capozzis have created a rustic, spacious tasting room in a former retail garden shop of Boyer Nurseries, featuring live music and drinks in a family-friendly environment. It’s recommended that guests call in advance to make reservations. “Our family has owned and operated the farm for five generations,” said Emma Fleming, the co-owner who is spearheading the new venture. “Our growth and success are due primarily to the strength of our family legacy and reputation.” Guests can explore the live, evergreen hedge maze and tour the nursery during their visit, or take in the scenic views alongside gardens and orchards. The Cellar’s wraparound porch and deck is a great spot to enjoy a wine tasting. The Nursery and Garden Center is open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday

‘Picasso on Paper’ showcases work by the legendary artist in Hagerstown for the first time since the ’70s

Special to The News-Post
“Picasso on Paper: The Artist as Printmaker,” an exhibition that explores the lithographs, etchings and linocuts by Pablo Picasso himself, opens Nov. 11 at the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts in Hagerstown. Viewers can relish in more than 60 diverse pieces created within a 50-year period, each of which adds substance, context and inspiration for Picasso’s most popular paintings. To see this exhibition is to pull back the layers of Picasso’s exterior persona and peer into his headspace or, as WCMFA executive director Sarah Hall describes it, to “watch his mind at work.” Organized in Los Angeles, California, by Landau Traveling Exhibitions and made possible by the team at WCMFA, “Picasso on Paper” was drawn from Timothy Collins’ large collection. WCMFA is one of five sites that will showcase this collection nationwide. Hall and exhibition curator Daniel Fulco aimed to provide Washington County with a specialized Picasso experience that will be accessible and enjoyable for everyone. For those with little knowledge, as well as those who might consider themselves aficionados, the WCMFA exhibition will be one to savor. Picasso is a household name, but “many people don’t know anything beyond the name,” as Hall put it. Pieces were chosen specifically to help reveal the personality behind the artist. The show includes handouts for viewers that are geared toward defining key terms used in the exhibition and supplying the audience with biographical details about events in Picasso’s life. For historical and cultural context, the exhibition also features artwork

away in wooden boxes at the tops of the windows. They were called “Higgin-type,” the first of their kind ever used in the U.S. After installation at Calvary, they were also installed at Hood College and Frederick Hospital.
The idea of building this new Calvary Methodist Church was a triumph for Frederick planners. The land had been a lumberyard and did not suit what this part of the town had become. In the lovely residential neighborhood was the new Armory, now part of Parks and Recreation, and Baker Park. Directly across on Bentz Street was Memorial Grounds, the only park in Maryland that commemorated soldiers of every American conflict from the French and Indian War to the veterans of WWI. But there was a problem: cost. The church council members shook their heads and said, “No, too expensive.” Then an unnamed donor paid $40,000 for the land, the lumber company moved, and the donor gave the deed for the land to Calvary to build a church. Rumors flew like wildfire until the secret was out. The “unnamed donor” was Joseph D. Baker, the wealthy businessman who had given so much to Frederick and continued to do so for many years. Baker’s mother had been a member of Calvary. Raising funds was definitely on the minds of Calvary’s congregation. Completed in 1930 during the heart of the Great Depression, members of the new church began fundraising immediately to pay off their new mortgage. After pledges and selling the old church building, the congregation still had to raise $110,000 — in today’s money, that’s roughly $1,900,000. Frequent dinners were open to the public, serving turkey and ham with all the trimmings. Fixed by ladies of the parish, each dinner cost 75 cents. They were so popular that crowds dined in the Parish Hall and stage, as well as the secondfloor balcony. United Methodist Men also served pancakes and sausage breakfasts. After many fundraisers, Calvary paid off its mortgage. It took 11 years.

If the walls of Calvary United Methodist Church could talk, they would be chattering right now about the hundreds of hands that have chopped, mashed and kneaded ingredients to make cheeseballs for the church’s annual Holiday Bazaar. They might describe the varieties of some 250 cheeseballs sold at the event last year. Calvary UMC hopes to sell even more this year at the bazaar, which will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 11. Through the banging of tables being set up, wrestling stringing lights and signs posted in the hallways for the event, some of Calvary’s members waxed nostalgic about the events of years past that have made this church thrive for 253 years in Frederick. Anne Mossburg doesn’t remember the march on Sunday, Sept. 14, 1930, from the old Methodist Church on East Church Street to its new / current location at 131 W. Second St., Frederick. She was an infant, and her parents, Agnes and Grover, carried her. Today she is 94 and has been an active member of Calvary all her life. Another member made that march: Barbara Burke. Two days before her 104th birthday on Oct. 19, she died peacefully in her sleep. She had recalled skipping along with her Sunday School class on that September day in 1930. All traffic was stopped on the way to the new church at Second and Bentz streets, across the street from Memorial Grounds. The board of the Methodist Church in Philadelphia became the architect for the new neo-Gothic style church, and Joseph W. Urner of Frederick was chosen as the assistant architect. Flat cars on a locomotive lumbered along to Frederick, carrying the hand-hewn Plymouth granite stone bricks from Massachusetts, numbered to be laid together like a gigantic jigsaw puzzle. During construction of the nearly block-long building, workmen who wanted to leave their mark deliberately put two bricks out of place. Members have searched for those two bricks ever since. 14 | Thursday, Nov. 9, 2023 | 72 HOURS

Armed Services Arts Partnership provides free arts programs for veterans
BY KARI A. MARTINDALE Special to The News-Post
What started as an undergraduate project, Armed Services Arts Partnership has grown into the nation’s largest military-arts organization, serving veterans, dependents and caregivers with free classes and workshops in visual arts, creative writing, storytelling, standup comedy and improv. The six-week classes, which run in spring, summer and fall, are offered virtually and in person in Washington, D.C., as well as at chapters in Hampton Roads, Virginia; Indianapolis, Indiana; and San Diego, California. “The mission of ASAP,” said program director Andrea Reichwald, “is to spark creativity through the arts, helping people find where they belong. It combats social isolation, [providing] a thing to do or a thing to look forward to.” When ASAP founder Sam Pressler was studying at The College of William & Mary, he recognized the challenges that veterans faced when they transitioned into civilian life. Believing that comedy would be a good coping mechanism, Pressler reached out to a veterans’ writing group for help delivering a standup comedy class for veterans. That project blossomed into a nonprofit organization that has served, since its founding in 2015, more than 3,500 veterans, dependents and caregivers. Storytelling is one of ASAP’s most popular classes. Instructors guide students in reflecting on personal experiences, identifying stories to develop, and structuring a narrative that they then deliver at graduation performance. Rodney Remson, of Silver Spring, who
served as a combat camera specialist in the U.S. Army Reserve, began attending ASAP open mics four years ago and entered storytelling classes shortly thereafter. Now an instructor-in-training, Remson said his favorite aspects of ASAP storytelling are “laughing, vulnerability and community.” ASAP emphasizes — and requires that students acknowledge — that its classes are not art therapy, which is guided by professional mental health clinicians. But students often report the benefits of arts programming to their mental health nonetheless. “Storytelling has saved my life,” Remson said. “It’s a way to channel all of that energy of complex trauma to an outlet that is nondestructive.” While students are not expected to work their military experiences into their art, those experiences often surface. Remson’s first story was called “PTSD and Me,” and he recently highlighted a PTSD experience when performing “Personal Space: The Last Frontier” at the Armed for the Arts fundraiser in D.C. Still, stressed Remson, “I don’t just talk about my military experience. I first ask myself, ‘What is it that my soul wants to say?’” All of the types of ASAP classes offered in person are also offered virtually, with all necessary materials, such as canvases, workbooks and other supplies, shipped to students at no cost. Students of all levels of experience are welcome. Tanya Whitney, who retired from the Army in 2010 and resides in Louisiana, has been taking advantage of ASAP’s virtual creative writing classes and workshops since 2021. Two of the stories she worked on in class have since been selected for publication: one in a wom-
en veteran’s horror anthology that will be published in 2024, and another in the fall issue of “Proud to Be: Writing by American Warriors,” published by the Southeast Missouri State University Press. “With ASAP classes,” said Whitney, “I sort of get the best of both worlds. The classes, whether one night or continuous weeks, have writers from all levels, [allowing] us to interact and exchange ideas. The veterans-only classes keep me in touch with other veterans facing some of the same challenges.” Reichwald said that students often comment on the safe and supportive class environment and the lasting bonds formed. “At the end of six weeks, they know each other and care about each other and have been vulnerable with each other,” she said. ASAP seeks a variety of platforms for military voices. In April, ASAP comics and storytellers performed on the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage, and ASAP regularly partners with the veteran-owned nonprofit Dog Tag Bakery in D.C. to offer open mic nights for veterans. In addition to six-week classes, single workshops ranging from quilt design to stage combat are scattered throughout the year. ASAP occasionally partners with other nonprofit arts and military organizations. In June, the Kennedy Center Social Impact Team offered a musical theater workshop taught by professional actors
Get Involved Spring classes, which begin in March, will be posted at asapasap.org in January. All classes are free to veterans, dependents and caregivers. from the “Lion King” tour, and a Wounded Warrior Project collaboration has included introductory poetry workshops. The majority of ASAP’s nearly 100 instructors are veterans and military family members themselves. They are located nationwide, with over a dozen residing in Maryland. ASAP provides their instructors with annual teaching artist training in topics such as delivering feedback, trauma awareness and teaching of the arts as life skills in order to provide students with an experience that meets the needs of the military community. “ASAP brings it all together,” said Reichwald, “but it’s our instructors that really make it happen.” Kari Martindale is a disabled veteran of the US Air Force and the wife of an Air Force retiree. She is a Pushcart Prize-nominated poet and spoken word artist who has been published in various literary journals and anthologies, and she has been featured in readings across Maryland. She has an MA in linguistics, sits on the board of Maryland Writers’ Association and is a member of EC Poetry & Prose.

Curators selected his designs on polished slabs, etchings on metal plates and linocuts on linoleum to communicate a mirage of stylistic choices. The curatorial team looked for pieces that convey Picasso’s emotions, reflect his culture and tell his stories in profound and memorable ways. “You are going to be able to see that his prints are very autobiographical,” Fulco said. “You’ll be able to learn something about his life by looking at these works. They’re very personal.” Due to the nature of this traveling exhibition, these pieces can only be showcased for a limited time throughout the year. The team worked diligently to tailor a custom experience specific to this region. “We curate [the exhibition]
“Picasso on Paper: The Artist as Printmaker” When: Nov. 11 to March 3. A special preview event will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Nov. 9 and includes refreshments. Where: Washington County Museum of Fine Arts, 401 Museum Drive, Hagerstown Tickets: Free. Preview tickets are $20, available at wcmfa.org. Info: 301-739-5727, wcmfa.org according to our audience and how we think we can best present it to them,” Fulco said. “I have written interpretive labels [for each piece] … so it will allow visitors to experience the works of art in a more meaningful, deeper way.” “Exhibitions create meaning by bringing objects together,” Hall added. The pieces shown together will likely prompt questions about 20th century art, while illuminating this artist as one of the most influential of his time.

The one (interview) that got away …
“Dallas” was a Friday-night, soapopera staple, and viewers ate it up. And that was especially true with ith three decades in the 1980 season finale cliffhanger, journalism, I am constantly where an unknown assailant shot J.R., asked who were my favorite the show’s break-out star. Fans were interviews. I could easily list Lily aghast.

But the tale I like to share is one of To promote the next season, CBS the interview that got away. executives ran a “Who Shot J.R.?” In 2005, I was working at campaign all summer.

you’re a little late. We’re getting ready to head out to catch a plane.” I wasn’t a green reporter then and had interviewed my share of well-known celebrities, but I was completely starstruck. I wanted to tell him about my T-shirt, ask him how he was hounded after that cliffhanger to reveal the shooter, about watching him on “Jeannie” with Barbara Eden. I wanted to know how it was to grow up with his mom, Mary Martin, as a Broadway star. What was it that he liked about playing J.R.? None of those questions came to mind. Not a single one. At the very least, I could have gotten a quote from him about coming to Winchester and serving as grand marshal. But my journalistic brain froze. It shut down. I simply said, “I’m terribly sorry. I’m a big fan. Have a safe flight.” “Well, thanks, darlin’, maybe another time,” he said. I placed the handset in the cradle and stared at the phone, shaking my head and wondering why I didn’t even try one question. I knew I’d lost my one chance to talk to him. My deadline had arrived, and I sadly couldn’t hold back the section from printing any longer. I filled the space with a press release. When “Dallas” was rebooted in 2012, I watched Hagman slip back into his white Stetson and lead the Ewing clan again. Unfortunately, I would never get a second chance to interview him. Hagman died on Nov. 23, 2012. The show limped on for two more seasons after they killed off his character. By all accounts from Hagman’s family, friends and co-stars, he was a standup guy. He probably would have answered that single question from me that day, if I had been brave enough to ask. I guess I’ll never know. But at least I had the great Larry Hagman refer to me with his trademark “darlin’.” In my mind, he was dressed in a white Stetson and flashed those pearly white teeth. And I wouldn’t trade that interaction for anything, even for another “Who Shot J.R.?” T-shirt. Crystal Schelle is a journalist whose work has been published locally, regionally and nationally.
