Corrections

My dear Grouptalkers, I have been corrected by our primary  mentor and beloved friend, Zerka, who has a better memory than I for detail.  Gertrude Franchot Tone, for whom the Beacon Theater was dedicated was never a patient at the Academy but was a guest. Virginia Satir was not a student of Moreno. She attended congresses with him and watched him direct. She denied any other connection. The Ackermans of NYC also directed the public sessions. Zerka remembers that she and J.L did Monday and Friday nights and after I left, Moreno turned the Institute over to her. Sunday nights were free. When I came on board, that wasn't the case. Sunday nights, Walter Klavun directed and the Morenos came into NYC once a week on Fridays. The rest of the week they were training us at the Beacon Academy. Zerka also remembers"singing our heads off on the way home. And you, Marcia, kept us in stitches singing 'One Hundred Easy Ways to Lose a Man."   Monica Zuretti has emailed me from Buenos Aires, after reading Grouptalk, to say,"You made me remember and connect with the long car trips with the Hudson River by our side. Going up in silence and concentration  and coming back singing and laughing. Every time I talk about those times with young people, I feel the emotion and priviledge we had sharing such precious moments with two such special beings. Love to you all, Monica." Fond memories. We were lucky. Marcia
