Playwright Beverly Coyle wrote a performance piece for students of the theater department at Seminole State College—outfitted here in matching “Show of Force” T’s.

The sparkle in Karen McKeivier’s eyes in this photo reflects that she is “over the moon, grateful, wildly blessed, and in love with the most creative, imaginative, and adventurous human!” When she and her fiancé visited Park City, Utah, in March, “My prince hired a horse-drawn sleigh and we rode up the mountain to a Yurt that was staffed by a chef and his staff that prepared the most amazing meal I have ever experienced.” After hot mulled cider and a spectacular 5-course meal, they descended the mountain by sleigh with panoramic views of white-capped mountains as the backdrop. “It was, perhaps, the most incredibly romantic and spectacularly visual experience of my entire life. As of November 19, 2021, I will become Mrs. Ronald Micheal Croce. It’s been a wild ride and I’m looking forward to the next adventure with him!”
