Maybe. I certainly don’t have Jon’s levels of passion, drive, and accomplishment, though I do have some of each. It is very possible that what I do have simply rubbed off of him somehow, long ago. The circle, already complete, is now illustrated.Incidentally, that’s Amy Linker in the center of the second row.

It's possible that, by going to different colleges, we broke the chain -- there is no actress who was a <em>college</em> classmate of both of us.

She played Kate Bush's Hounds of Love for me in the car, and I became a huge Kate Bush fan from then on. Amy and I were actually in touch quite a bit over the next year; she even got me to audition for a summer stock/camp production in the Berkshires of Jesus Christ Superstar that next summer where she was going to be working, which the director told me I got (Judas), then I never heard back from him. I lost touch with her after Junior year. It's always cool when I run across articles about her, because unlike Cynthia who I was never friends with, I was good frends with Amy.
