PUTNAM VILLAGER
QUIET CORNER ROUND-UP
‘Glengarry Glen Ross’ at Bradley Sept. 3
PUTNAM — The Theatre of
Northeastern Connecticut at
the Bradley Playhouse is proud
to present the “Off-Bradley”
production of David Mamet’s
Pulitzer Prize winning play
“Glengarry Glen Ross.”
Performances are Friday,
Sept. 3 and Saturday, Sept. 4, at
8 p.m., and Sunday, Sept. 5, at 2
p.m. All tickets are $10. This
production is not part of the
regular Bradley season, so season
and flex passes cannot be
used. The play contains strong
language and is suitable for
mature audiences.
“Off-Bradley” productions
generally happen when a group
of actors decide they would like
to do a show that’s different
than the main season offerings.
The plays may be a bit controversial
or more adult in content.
They make you think.
Often the roles are challenging
for the actors and help them
grow in their craft — a reason
why they generally attract our
best actors. In addition, these
performances help raise
money for the Bradley, something
the theatre needs in these
tough economic times.
“Glengarry Glen Ross,” a
look at wheeling and dealing in
the real estate business, is a
depiction of men whose lives
and values are twisted by a
world in which they must lie,
cheat and even steal in order to
survive. Some critics have said
that for all its use of “four letter
words” (which is somewhat of
a Mamet trademark),
“Glengarry Glen Ross” is actually
a morality play.
David Mamet was born in
PUTNAM — Putnam Bank was the
Starting Line sponsor of this year’s Day
Kimball Healthcare Deary Memorial Road
Race on Aug. 14.
As a major sponsor, Putnam Bank contributed
$5,000 to support this worthy local
cause. Through the generosity of Putnam
Bank’s participating team and employees,
another $1,400 in addition to the bank’s sponsorship
was given, making Putnam Bank the
second highest corporate contributor this
year.
1947 and discovered his passion
for theater in college. He
trained as an actor, than
worked at several unglamorous
jobs, including one as office
manager at a real estate office.

to playwriting. “American
Buffalo” opened on Broadway
in 1977 and “Glengarry Glen

the Tony Award for Best
Revival. Liev Schreiber got the
Tony for Best Featured Actor,
in a cast that included Alan
Alda and Jeffrey Tambor. In

Putnam Bank supports Deary Road Race
The Deary Memorial Road Race & Walk
began in 1990 and over the past 20 years has
become a hallmark community event. Since it
first began, the race has raised more than
$900,000 to provide preventive services and
cancer treatment such as mammograms,
ultrasounds, medications, travel and surgical
procedures for people in the local community
needing financial assistance. Through this
year’s event, nearly $90,000 was raised to
assist local people in need. The fundraiser
also supports The Tom C. Deary Jr.
Hospital dedicates lounge in
memory of influential physician
PUTNAM — Day Kimball Hospital
recently dedicated the medical staff
lounge to the memory of Dr. Moses
Margolick, renovating the entire lounge
with funds donated to the organization in
his name.
Mrs. Gertrude Margolick, her three
sons, daughter-in-law and grandson all
attended the dedication. In an impromptu
speech, Mrs. Margolick thanked the
crowd by adding, “This day is like a
homecoming for us. We are so thrilled to
see our friends, many of whom traveled
far to be here, and we’re honored that my
husband is being remembered in such a
meaningful way.”
“Dr. Margolick’s family had expressed
a wish to our development office that the
Margolick Memorial Fund be used for a
permanent tribute to the doctor who
cared deeply for Day Kimball and the
physicians he worked with,” said Pamela
Watts, interim director of development.
“A hospital committee suggested a muchneeded
refurbishing of the medical staff
lounge, so that’s what we did.” The space
offers the medical staff a place to relax
and to do research. Appropriately, the
modernized lounge is located across the
hall from the Medical Library, founded by
Dr. Margolick, but named at his request
for his colleague, Dr. Leo LaPalme, who
had died in a car accident.
For 47 years Dr. Margolick practiced

medicine and performed surgery at Day Kimball Hospital. During that time he also
served as president of the Medical Staff. Dr. Margolick and his wife Gert were active in
civic affairs and created lively variety shows and travelogues to raise funds for Day
Kimball before his retirement in 1986. Following his death last year at the age of 98, gifts
totaling almost $10,000 were given to the memorial fund in his name.

pursuing a career in radiology.
“We believe that the ‘Starting Line’ in the
fight against cancer is the local charities that
do so much to help people in need,” said
Thomas A. Borner, chairman and CEO of
Putnam Bank. “The proceeds of this event
support our neighbors and friends in need,
and as a community bank, Putnam Bank is
pleased to be a sponsor for a cause that does
so much good for the communities we serve.”
