Blake!Who is Blake? He is a patron saint of the MacDowell Colony! Perhaps he is best known as the conductor of the lunchmobile, but his role is larger than that. If you need a flashlight so that you don't get lost in the worrds at night, ask Blake. He has the keys to the flashlight stash and any other stash that would make a person's stay more enjoyable. Institutional memory? You know where to go.

Last night, Terri and I gave a little reading in the library. Blake was there even though he had worked all day. And he didn't show up empty-handed. He came bearing CHOCOLATE!

Blake is the go-to guy and all around good person. I was too shy to ask him how how he is, but I did ask how long he has been at MacDowell. "Since 1983." I can't imagine how they managed to run the colony for 76 years without him.
