My son, Jordan, is in the musical "Grease" which opens this weekend at The Salina Community Theatre. It's part of Summer Stage theater for young people and stars the most talented group of teenagers in Salina. Jordan plays the part of Doody which is the young, naive, greaser in the T-Birds. Most of you know that I had the opportunity to play in Grease twice in my life. I played Kenicke in college and Danny Zuko in 1999 at SCT. 
It's the most fun I've ever had on stage, and I can tell Jordan's having a lot of fun with it as well. What's kind of funny, is that Jordan is going to also be involved in the musical "The Music Man" at South High this year. The Music Man was the first leading role I ever had when I was a junior at South and I've also played the same role of Harold Hill in 2001 at SCT. So, Jordan's kind of getting the opportunity to do some of the same plays I have done. I think he has a good chance at playing Harold Hill at South as well.

Hey bro! Great picture of you. Isn't it great how the old musicals of our time are still with us and the kids still enjoy them. Do you have any pics of Jordan from the show - I'd love to see some. Must have been really fun to watch him up there. Gotta make you proud! Love you lots,
Carola
