Zl A Farewell To ' Doc By Hi. C. Luttmers Reviews, memorabilia, news articles, letters Irom such luminaries as Ronald Reagan. Jimmy Stewart, and John Wayne literally papered the office walls. Doctor C.C.Kinnison reflecting his long and illustri- ous career as a thespian. the last four years of which have been spent as teacher and director here at Union. Last fall. Doc announced his retirement. •Saying he would never retire unless I was run over by a truck or critic . Doc is simply going to take the spring off for his health (with a few weeks in Florida to boot) and then gradually work his way back into doing theater somewhere else at a much slower pace. Doctor Kinnison put on ten shows a year, a killer pace , with Life with Father marking his 25th show here at Union and the 225th of his career. Not taking singular credit for the success of Union ' s theater depart- ment. Doc feels he was just a director al the right i)lace at the right time and is amazed at the remarkalile balance we maintained — our response from students, faculty, administration, community, and the critics — which seems to suggest the program was working well at every level . Claims Doc, I ' ve worked out at places longer and harder but never more successfully. As Doc Kinnison left Union, he hoped the university can maintain this level of theatrical interest, and I trust Union will remain in the forefront of the community ' s theatrical influence. In closing. Doc says, Wherever I take residence in the future, my fondest thoughts will always be of Union. Union, Union. As a polished director and instructor that helped bring art and class to Union, we bid Doctor C.C. Kinnison Adieu.
