This EAB is a green, narrow insect not quite a half-inch in length and its presence in the U.S. has been posing major survival issues for millions of ash trees, especially in the Midwest, according to forestry studies. Right now, it has been found in 14 states, including Minnesota, and parts of Canada.

His first association with the theater came in 1941, when a college instructor asked if he could fill in as director on Sidney Howard's "Ned McCobb's Daughter." That show led to another, and another.
