As the New York Times outlines: "Mr. Cowen's hero, just about to turn twenty, is discovered dreaming in the backyard (or is it less friendly territory?) and the action of the play is mostly what happens in his head as he surveys his life up to this particular afternoon. Going backward and forward in time with the swiftness of reverie, we see the young man's relationships with his well-meaning but obtuse father, his loving but possessive mother, his compliant but unsentimental girlfriend. The father keeps after him to dress better, make a lot of friends, stick to business, 'be a man.' The mother shuttles between a desire to see him out of the nest and a yen to keep him at home. The girlfriend will be faithful to him while he's in the Army; but, of course, she'll go to the movies with other fellows. Another character is a neighbor boy, in effect the hero's little brother and sometimes in effect, the hero as a kid. And there is a soldier who helps spell out the true location of this friendly summertree." Which is, ultimately, Vietnam, and a battle from which there will be no return. But the life cycle goes on, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, but filled, always, with the bittersweet memories which must become, in the final essence, all that we can truly hold onto.

7/19/2008 Benefit for Hunter Dean Scott : people showed up by the hundreds to show their support for Hunter Dean Scott, a sweet and precocious four-year-old boy who was diagnosed with brain cancer.
Hunter recently underwent extensive brain surgery to remove a massive tumor that was encasing his brain and is faced with months of chemotherapy to eradicate the cancer.
"It was unbelievable the community response we received," said Dawn Barrett, a family member who helped organize the event. 
The event raised $40,000, most of which came from proceeds at the door. About $4,000 was raised during the silent auction, and $1,248 was raised during the 50/50 raffle. The winner of the raffle, Corinna Jaffe, was given $674, and gave half that back to Hunter. 
The day's events included a 50/50 raffle, Silent Auction, Magic Show, Fantasy Face Painting, a moon bounce and DJ.
