~~Queens City Theatre Grey Gardens the Musical~~
My travels have landed me back home in New York City. I had been a guest in North Carolina Charlotte, where the musical Grey Gardens was being preformed .
In the years I have lived it has been many years since the very private and secluded days at the mansion.
I was told when I was a youth that my time at Grey Gardens would become a defining moment in my life. It had been a defining moment when I found comfort and safety in a hostile world during the most uncertain years of my life.
It is now over 35 years later and I am faced with the memories of my own past that have now been part of a feature length motion picture and the musical redefined in yet another city here in the United States.
In the time that has passed since my years at Mrs.Beales Grey Gardens I have discovered that I as a person have changed just a bit from the light hearted youth that did once and still does posses my soul.
Ive discovered that the more I live the more the greater I feel the very nature of my personality is that of a sensitive one and it does bring me such great joys .In every way life has been written for me I have only to follow ., and in the same way I feel great joys there is also the fact that it leaves me open to feel everything in return, so be it I shall let myself feel each emotion that is in store for me as it is part of who I am.
To attempt to deny the person who I was born is now out of the question .My only wish is that my teachers those who have loved me could share in what I have learned from them. Therefor I have grown stronger for those who have loved me have not given there love to a man who would not honor there spirit everyday of his life. I’m devoted to live the lessons each day of my life for they were taught to me by those who truly have loved me.
The musical Grey Gardens that I had witnessed this past week is the greatest & saddest joys of my recent days.
with all my respect towards all my fellow human beings, let it be known that I have lived and have known great joys and have been loved .
To those who have taught me essence of life I am humbled to have been in your company.

“I was told when I was a youth that my time at Grey Gardens would become a defining moment in my life. It had been a defining moment when I found comfort and safety in a hostile world during the most uncertain years of my life.”
You know Jerry, and I would think this would be so much better in a BOOK than on film, but I hope you kind of flesh out the great turmoil you were going through BEFORE you came to Grey Gardens, During your time there and Shortly afterwards.
I would also say, As you write your story, please! Make it YOUR story as much as the Beales! Give this thing a WHOLE NEW SLANT! It would be so interesting to know your THOUGHTS and EMOTIONS as well as internal reactions to so much that was going on in that house while you were there!
Glad you had such a wonderful time in North Carolina, hope you are keeping out of the cold as much as humanly possible!
