Van and I had not seen each other in a while because I was in the midst of producing Crazy For You on Broadway, so he thought it would fun and interesting for us to get together at this place that was special to him. He also thought that the weekend would give me a chance to get to know Bill Buckley better, as we had gone to the same college but never spent any time together.
It truned out that our four days of togetherness made for wonderful bonding with my old friend Van and discovery of a new friend in Bill. Bill was entertaining, thoughtful, intelligent, well informed, and contrary to my presuppositions, very interested in other people's opinions.
The Bohemian Grove adventure was full of many interesting and lively discussions, and this shared experience that Van created for us enhanced my friendship with him and allowed me to form a new unexpected one with Bill, both of which continue to this day.
