Tennessee Williams “RE-APPEARS”<br />
One of the greatest and most popular playwrights of the 20th Century,<br />
“Tennessee” Williams will make a special appearance for one night only at the<br />
Cultural Arts Center of Frederick County, 15 West Patrick Street on Saturday,<br />
September 12 at exactly 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $10, early reservations are<br />
strongly recommended as there are only 106 seats available. Call Mrs. Urian<br />
at 301-271-7613 to ensure a seat for this very special event.<br />
Award-winning Thurmont actor, Spence Watson, will portray the<br />
controversial southern writer and theatrical icon for 75 minutes in a one-man<br />
show created from several Tennessee Williams prefaces and New York Times<br />
essays written from 1947 to 1977. “An Evening With Tennessee Williams”<br />
reveals the essential Williams both as a man of international cosmopolitan tastes<br />
but who possessed genuine love for colloquial southern expressionism.<br />
The Thurmont Thespians will produce this special event in honor of Mr.<br />
Williams approaching 100th birthday. Special permission to present this premiere<br />
play was obtained by its author, Spence Watson, from the estate of Tennessee<br />
Williams at the University of the South in Sewanee, TN. “I wanted to create a<br />
work that delved beneath the surface of his fame as writer,” said Watson.<br />
Thomas Lanier “Tennessee” Williams was born the second of three children<br />
on March 26, 1911 in Columbus, MS and died February 24, 1983 in New<br />
York City at the age of 71, apparently of a choking accident. As a young man,<br />
he attended the University of Missouri and was a graduate of the University of<br />
Iowa. He took the nick-name “Tennessee” from the state of his father’s birth.<br />

Summer Program<br />
Todd Seiss, a junior at Catoctin High School,<br />
spent his summer in California attending<br />
Stanford University’s Educational Program<br />

until their junior/senior year in college. Quantum<br />
Mechanics is the study of motion on the atomic scale.<br />
Todd was one of 23 students from across<br />
the globe selected to participate in this program.<br />

Other attendees were from India, Indonesia, China, Italy,<br />
and across the U.S. Todd was eligible for selection due to his<br />
academic achievements. The Seiss Family would like to extend a sincere thank<br />
you to Catoctin High School’s faculty and staff, Thurmont American Legion<br />

American legion Post 168 Holds Coin<br />
Show<br />
Alex Kidwell of Thurmont is<br />
a dealer and collector of coins,<br />
specializing in early American copper<br />
coins and U.S. Gold. He started<br />
collecting them when he was seven<br />
years old and enjoys the history of<br />
the coins he collects. He owns a<br />
silver 1792 1/2 Disnne coin that was<br />
made from the donated silver from<br />
Martha Washington’s personal silver<br />
collection.<br />
Being a member of the American<br />
Legion Post 168, it was only fitting<br />
that Alex arrange to bring together<br />
dealers and collectors of coins and<br />
notes for a show for people to<br />
browse and barter. Not every dealer<br />
deals or collects the same items, some<br />
specialize in bank notes and others<br />
specialize in pre-Civil War or certain<br />
time periods and much more. Each<br />
dealer has a different story to tell and<br />
a wealth of information to share.<br />
With such a great turn out for the<br />
first coin show, you can bet more will<br />
be coming.<br />
