Brewster shot a couple of films under his own production company (distribution was hell) - any way you could post/send more info about the film? I'm wondering if it was A DREAM OF FAIR WOMEN.
Excellent account revealing Prisant's role with the RLS, not mentioned in a long NYT obit. A link to a 1999 article about her renovation of a 1862 house designed by Copley near Cedarmere has been found by Friends of Cedarmere VP Tom Powell. The Times obit pictured the Roslyn Harbor house's unique boathouse, but without the house's renovation. It did mention the gardens were done by the Olmsted brothers.
Fascinating unknown history of Roslyn Harbor resident Brewster. Recently Friends of Cedarmere VP Tom Powell discovered a photo showing a silent film was shot at Cedarmere in 1919. I wonder if Brewster had any connection.

In 1950 my parents, Bill and Aida Valles purchased their newly built Albertson home and joined Trinity Episcopal Church. I was
One of the first kids in the nursery area. My brother, a year older, eventually stood proudly in the boys choir . Father Jones was our pastor at that time and quite a loving and caring person. My fondest childhood memories always seem to drift to that sacred ground, the soaring roofline, the stained glass windows, the climb up the hill to that beautiful edifice. When Father Jones announced the time for the 'little ones ' to go to their classrooms it was always with eager anticipation as we made our way down the center isle, throughbthe glass center foyer and beyond to our assigned classes. When I was older I sometimes skipped the classroom and took to climbing the rocky hillside to speak with God alone. I am now 72 years old, and still reflect on the wonderful feeling of security and peace I experienced during those early years. These are joyful memories which hopefully, if it is in God's plan for me, I will be able to personally revisit in the near future.
Exactly as I thought. I dated Susan briefly and Merri as well. Merri became a dear and close friend and she is now in a care home, suffering from Dementia.
The last time I saw Susan was in Chicago years ago, when I was on my way back to Utah from the Duck Pond Reunion and Susan was there for an Expo. She can tell you about it if she cares to.
Merri introduced me to Susan more than 2 decades ago.

Funny you say that Isabel because most people did call me by that diminutive form of my name. When my mother was angry, she'd call me Kenneth.
My memory used to be excellent, but now, not so much. Did you have an older sister or step sister? Did you know Merri Hollander (Brian's older sister)?
