Clive Barnes, famed New York Theatre Critic passed away at the age of 81 on November 19, 2008 of complications from liver cancer. Barnes was a wonderful man and a tremendous fan of MATTY. His kind words and criticism of the show when it opened in New York at the Lambs Theatre made MATTY a well-known play throughout theatre circles. We were greatful for his encouragement then and mourn his loss now. He was more than an icon. He was a wonderful man and he touched so many lives with his own. He will be more sorely missed.
IN MEMORY . . .
In the wake of the horrible tragedies in our Nation on September 11, 2001 this web site is dedicated to honor the memory of all those who lost their lives in the attack on America, including American Airlines Flight 77 Captain Charles “Chic” Burlingame III.
“Chic,” 51, was a veteran pilot and former Navy officer. A graduate of Anaheim High School, he went on to the Naval Academy and flew for the Navy. He lived in Virginia and once worked in the Pentagon. But he retained a fondness for the home teams, the Angels and Lakers. Indeed, he’d hoped that his wife, Sheri, would accompany him to Los Angeles so they could attend a baseball game, but he couldn’t get seats that were worth the trouble. He wanted to watch the Angels while celebrating his 52nd birthday, which was Wednesday, September 12. He was a beloved husband, father, son, brother and friend and he will be sorely missed. Burial was at Arlington National Cemetery, where Burlingame’s father, a Navy and Air Force veteran, is also buried. “Chic” was the brother of Eddie Frierson’s dear friend, Brad Burlingame. We honor his memory here on this page.
