Donna Todd

31 March 1940 to 6 August 2014

Sometimes you work with a person for a short time in your life

but you remember and cherish that part of your relationship forever.

Donna was one of those people.

Before she began the last twenty years of her life in Magdalena, New Mexico
and the London Frontier Theatre she spent some time in Utah.

That is where we performed, wrote and laughed together.

She brought with her decades of performance and writing.

Here, I will salute her for a just few of the characters she created during her sojourn in Utah.
