Gordon Clapp plays J. Edgar Hoover in The Great Society at the Lincoln Center through January 15th, 2020.

Steve Brown reports: “On Saturday, Nov. 16, a group of 18  ’71 Classmates and friends attended the play “The Great Society’ featuring our own Gordie Clapp as J. Edgar Hoover ( or “J” as referred to by LBJ in the play). Our group consisted of Jock and Anne MacKinnon, Steve and Jorie Latham, Shaye Hester, Rod Brown and Marcia Haydel, Bob and Denise Schwed, John and Louise Finnerty, Jack Sands, Dave and Audrey Kubie,  June and Rob Farnham,  and Sue and I.

 
We all enjoyed lunch at PJ Clarke’s before the play with Gordie and his wife, Elizabeth. It was great seeing Gordie in the play and remembering the years 1964-68. FYI — they did not feature any of Lady Bird Johnson’s visit to Williams College in October, 1967, which is described in our timeline.”
