He and his wife miraculously survived initial injuries but were left paraplegic and unaware if their lives would continue. The story is told by their oldest daughter, focusing on her mother's relentless drive to achieve respect and acceptance all through her marriage—especially from her in-laws—and how the lack of any acceptable ethnic social status impacted everyone around her. Included is the mother's heroic history she never knew of own parents, about their separate emigration from Old Country Galician (Ukrainian) villages on the north side of the Carpathian Mountains just before World War I closed the borders, and their subsequent struggles among the lowest of the low classes in America.

After several weeks of rehearsals, a totally unexpected and surprising front-page local newspaper announcement of Center Stage's financial problems effectively shut down… Show more I contacted professional friend, composer Colin Mawby, about my proposal to produce the US premier of his musical, "The Torc of Gold."
