I am one of the countless people who studied drama with John Ingle at Hollywood and Beverly Hills High Schools. After he retired from teaching, he went on to become a successful working actor. He instilled in all of his students a lifelong love of theater.

With the approach of his birthday on May 7, I can think of no better way to honor his memory than to dedicate one or more seats in the new Ruskin Theater complex in Santa Monica. Each seat is $3500, and I hope to raise enough to dedicate side-by-side seats for John and Gracel-Lin. Please join me in donating $35 or more.
