Twenty-nine years ago, I was approached in the lobby at Classic Stage Company and asked if I knew the work of Barrie Stavis. "Lamp at Midnight, Harpers Ferry ... sure," I said, remembering the plays, and that he'd been born in 1906. "He's not still alive, is he?"

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

"Very much so," came the reply. "He's right over there. He'd like to meet you." It was the beginning of a beautiful friendship that would last three decades. Barrie died on Feb. 2, 2007, at the remarkable age of 100.
