I did not know George Trautwein well, but I remember my mother LOVED the man. My sisters were more involved with GT's shows, and I remember watching in awe when Nili's colorful, talented friends came to the house for an after party (whoever stole those signs from the basement, we're still watiting for them back). What i remember most, however, was that GT was very kind to me when I was recruited as an eight-year old to play the part of a Craig Bierko's daughter, I believe, in Carousel. What a thrill that was....being picked up by Craig...sigh.
I had no idea that this man touched so many people's lives and it's been touching and fun to read these entries, a couple of which brought me to tears. Amazing.
