16、 poor. commenced to help To be elected president in the Provincetown Playhouse at our International Conference in New York this past June was a special thrill, and its a privilege to be succeeding such accomplished ONeillians as Laurie Porter, Brenda Murphy, and Steve Bloom, just to name the most re

17、cent. （1） I feel lucky to have a turn at leading this organization with its collegial, erudite, and distinguishing group of scholars, teachers, and dedicated enthusiasts of the life and works of Eugene ONeill. And congratulations to Jeff Kennedy, the tireless creative force behind the New York confe

18、rence and our new vice president. （2） Just as ONeill himself was usually convinced that his most recent play was his greatest, sometimes correctly, I cant help to think that our most recent gathering this June set a new high mark even among all the terrific international conferences that the Society

19、 has sponsored over the past few decades. By day I am the associate dean of Arts and Sciences at Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville, and though I enjoy budget spreadsheets and curriculum oversight as much as the next guy, （3） the excuse to linger in Seattle for MLA, or run off to San Francisco

20、in May for our annual Society meeting at ALA, give me a special sense of purpose and adventure that, frankly, administrative life sometimes lacks. Though handicapped by a reasonably happy childhood, I came to appreciate ONeill in graduate school while studying his plays at Boston University, a coupl

A coincidence, probably, but I should also note that my wife Rita attended Connecticut College in New London, a primary locus of ONeill studies （and just maybe the site of our next big gathering-stay tuned）; my mother-in-law was actually a

22、young girl in Provincetown during those special years when ONeill was a fledgling playwright and family man there. In January, I look forward to returning to Seattle, my own home town and ONeills home for a few months in 1936 when he learned hed won the Nobel Prize, where Ill be moderating the ONeil

23、l Society session at the 2012 MLA convention. I suppose being an ONeillian requires a certain belief in the convergent power of fate. （4） Our future looks bright, with so much continuing interest in ONeill and his circle, so Im sure that like many of you Im having some difficulty imagining life afte

24、r Diane Schinnerer steps down this winter after twelve peerless years as our secretary-treasurer. Fortunately we have Beth Wynstra stepping into that role, and Im sure shell be channeling Diane when necessary while putting her own fresh stamp on the operation. The other major transition, of course,

25、is the succession of the editorship of The Eugene ONeill Review from Zander Brietzke to William Davies King, （5） with the journal moving from its original home at Suffolk University to the Penn State University Press, there it will be published twice-yearly and available online through JSTOR and Pro

26、ject MUSE. Zander, succeeding founding editor Fred Wilkins, cultivated many important new voices and directions in ONeill scholarship. It will be exciting to see where Dave and the supportive folks at PSUP take the journal from here. So its a good time to be an ONeillian, and I hope to continue seei

He meant to shoot myself with. 3. “Yes, Sweet Thing,” I said, with a smile. “We do.” 4. I loved him for that. 5. I love them all. I am acutely lucky in my family and friends, and in my daughter, my work, and my life. But I have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, more kindly known as Lou Gehrigs disease, for the great Yankee hitter and first baseman who was told he had it in 1939, accepted the verdict wit
