Well, in a funny way you would not be the Dean you are if it hadn’t been for Barbra Streisand. In October of 1965

I came to New York City for a four day visit mostly to see Barbra in Funny girl on Broadway. I also was going to hook up with Shelley Winters whom I had met and worked with in a summer theatre. I was 22. I called Shelley and long story short was introduced to Jim Haspiel, through another friend started a 30 year career at the New York State Council on the Arts. And after a time there was Dean.

PS I saw funny Girl 13 times ( many standing room only ) and then in the fifth row in her closing night.

Thank you Barbra Streisand!
