We are deeply saddened by this loss. Franco American Programs at the University of Maine would like to celebrate the innovation, creativity, and mentorship of Greg’s lifework. We invite writers, actors/actresses, and anyone touched by his work and creative energy to join us on Friday, November 5, 2021 (virtually or in person) to share a new work created in Greg’s spirit, a reading or performance of one of his writings, or a little bit of both. We also invite people to send us video testimonials talking about what his work has meant to them, which we will collect to be part of a video montage screened during the celebration. To be part of this celebration, please contact either Susan Pinette ([e-mail]) or Lisa Michaud ([e-mail]) by October 8, 2021. The exact timing of the event will depend upon the number and types of submissions we receive. We will post the specific details about the event once we learn about them.
