I will never forget Michael as long as I live -- he was so generous and open, and I learned so much from him. I would not be doing the work I do today if it had not been for Michael Warren Powell and his support. He brought me into the lab and let me do all sorts of wonderful things like putting teams of designers together for lab shows. I remember sitting in that little office of his in the back and asking him how this or that could possibly happen, and he would say, " find out who's available, call and ask, it'll happen!" And it did! We got so much work up on its feet with the tiniest budgets, and it was exhilarating and fabulous! Every week people sat around and heard new work and discussed it, and he was full of love for the work and the people. There was so much momentum, and so much came of it all, and people grew. He nurtured us all, and we grew! And then there were the Lab Parties! I will never forget how the lab would be transformed, and we would all take shifts at the door, and the dancing. . . I think of him often with so much love.
