An author, broadcast journalist, and senator walk into an Alley

Author’s Alley, that is, the annual book extravaganza hosted by Loganberry Books of the Larchmere District. Author Carlo Wolff unveiled his new Invisible Soul, an uncovering of Cleveland’s vibrant soul music scene of the 50s to the 1980s. Broadcast Journalist Leon Bibb grabbed an extra copy of Designing Victory the memoir of architect Robert Madison that Wolff co-authored. Fun fact: Bibb was the voice actor for the audio version. US Senator Sherrod Brown dropped in to snare his first edition copy of Invisible Soul. Act 3 published Invisible Soul, with additional contribution of Act 3 co-founders James O’Hare (co-author), Ron Hill (illustrator) and Jaime Lombardo (cover design).

When Act 3 producer Alex Vicarel called a meeting for the following morning, we were mentally prepared. Her announcement? She would leave Act 3 to join her boyfriend (also Alex!) in Seattle as they begin a new life chapter. A position at Microsoft for one talented Alex, a host of new geographic and career opportunities for Act 3 Alum Alex. Since Covid restrictions caused “our” Alex to miss out on her 2020 college graduation from John Carroll University, we figured a joint graduation ceremony was called for. Presti’s in Cleveland’s Little Italy neighborhood provided the stage, Act 3’s creative director Ron Hill provided the illustrated bon voyage card and the graduation mortar board.
To follow is a sweet note from a talented, sweet lady who taught us much with her poise, grace, and wry humor.
