Sad beginnings

I had long ago thought about doing a project such as this. A sort of role playing, yet sometimes truthful, telling of my imaginary and imaginative apprenticeship with the lovely witch Angelique and other ways that the original Dark Shadows warped my delicate mind. The death of the talented Jonathan Frid who played Barnabas Collins so deliciously has saddened me greatly.

A few tributes, from those who knew him far better than I:
Lara "Angelique" Parker and also photos before she was able to write the words
Kathryn "Maggie" Leigh Scott
David "Quentin" Selby
Nancy Kersey- a friend, writer and personal assistant to Mr. Frid
Matt Hall - Grayson "Julia" Hall's son
A Piece in his hometown paper, with comments from his nephew and others who knew him
