As an avid fan of the writer, director and actor, Sam Shepard, I am happy to dedicate these pages to his creative genius which spans considerable years.  Sam was once quoted as saying:  "Character is an essential tendency. It can be covered up, it can be messed with, it can be screwed around with, but it can't be ultimately changed. It's the structure of our bones, the blood that runs through our veins."  Sam's own character has been brilliantly heralded throughout his body of work. 


     Known, among other things, as the "thinking woman's beefcake" I am grateful to be able to say I have enjoyed the fruits of Mr. Shepard's labor almost since he began.
