Jeanne Stafford - A Long Record of Service By: Roy Riedy |
Jeanne Stafford's name appeared for the first time on the Gourmet Staff as a member of the Salad Bar/Dessert section, in August, 1991, in Walter Zelenenki's playbill for his comedy, The Seven Year Itch, the last show of the Seventeenth Season.
In the program of Peter Pollard's musical, They're Playing Our Song, in January, 1992, her name began appearing in the section that listed the staff of Anthony's Lounge where it remained for the next three plays of the Eighteenth Season, and all of the Nineteenth. At the end of the Nineteenth Season, at the Eighth Annual Zenon Award Ceremony, Jeanne was awarded a Board Service Zenon (with Millee Havlock) "for outstanding contributions to the theatre as head waitresses for the Gourmet Division."
Jeanne continued to work in Anthony's Lounge the entire Twentieth Season and was nominated at the Ninth Annual Zenon Awards "for outstanding contributions with the Gourmet Division as a Head Waitress."
Ms.Stafford served in Anthony's Lounge for 33 more consecutive plays until her retirement in April, 2001, when her name was last seen in the program of Jim McCollum's musical, Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, for a total of 49 playbills in which her name had been printed.
During her association with the Lakeside Playhouse, besides her duties during 49 plays, Jeanne has been involved with 3 Zenon Ceremonies, 1 Christmas Program, 1 First-Nighter Gala, 2 HLT Newsletters, and 1 local news article for a total of 57 Citations. Indeed, a very dramatic record of a devoted and faithful volunteer, which should make Jeanne justly proud.
