The Life Celebration for Effie Mihopolous was organized by me, (Cathleen Schandelmeier, as Effie had requested) and featured poets Cornelius Eady, and David Hernandez as well as filmmaker Josephine Lipuma. The Trapdoor Theatre under the direction of Beata Pilch performed a scene in Effie’s memory. I closed with a poem that ends “When I die, I don’t want to rest in peace. I want to be ground into your souls, and dance…” Then, Ensemble Espanol Spanish Dance Theatre’s Youth Company danced her out.
