Poor Henry Crawford
Henry Crawford was one of the stagehands that knew and had worked around the Charter Members that started Local 41 at the turn of the last century. He always worked as a flyman, and was considered to be a good one. The flyman's world is a long row of pull-ropes running the length of the wall at one side of the backstage area; which side in many cases is determined by where you can park and unload the trucks just outside. If the loading doors are at the right side of the stage, then the fly system will be installed along the left side.
Fly cues are normally heard from a biscuit, as it wasn't practical for the flyman to wear a headset because he moves up and down the row of linesets during the performance. If told to fly in the backdrop for the cemetery scene, or to bring in lineset 32, the flyman would move to the appropriate location, unlock the brake on his line and pull down to bring that drop, which was waiting in the flyspace above, lower until the bottom just kisses the deck, and re-lock the brake. Sometimes the number 32 has been painted onto the lockrail, and there is usually a replaceable card there marked cemetery backdrop. It is much more likely that when his cuelight comes on, that the stage manager issues a warning for cue number 47. The flymen, who may all have pieces to move, either in or out, when that cuelight goes off, will refer quickly to a long cue sheet that details, for each numbered cue, what linesets or which setpieces will move what direction, and probably who it is that has been assigned that particular cue by the head flyman. Poor Henry Crawford could not read!
How is it that Old Henry is such a good flyman? I worked around Henry for years before I became aware of his 'handicap.' He was not one of the old heads that taught me the business; in fact, Henry was reticent to advise any of his 'wiser' colleagues. Sometimes, when we were hanging a show, if I was out there on the deck doing whatever it was I'd been assigned to do; out there where other work was ongoing and the noise level was escalating as guys shouted back and forth instructions to one another; sometimes Henry was watching me, ...carefully.
When something began to move about on that stage; it could be something that was big and heavy that constituted a safety hazard; it could be something that was fragile or expensive that could have gotten damaged; it could have been a fresh supply of doughnuts just coming in the door; that's when Henry's huge old hand would manifest itself on my shoulder. He'd move me quickly out of harm's way, or call my attention to something I shouldn't be missing. He seldom said a word; just acted in his mysterious way.
Henry's awareness of his surroundings was peculiar; peculiar in a way that escaped the notice of most stagehands. Henry's relationship to the space that we worked in was qualitatively different than the other stagehands working around him. When it was time for Henry to bring in the backdrop for the cemetery scene, he went to the place where we'd hung the stupid thing mere hours ago; the same place where the head flyman had placed a notecard designating it as the place where that drop was controlled by a flyman. If that head flyman had been confused or distracted when he marked the pinrail; marked the wrong lineset by accident; it would not have fooled poor Henry.
If Henry had been directed to pull on a specific lineset, he'd peer out into the darkness that was onstage, looking for the presence(or absence) of the setpiece that was fixing to move; he'd look up and notice the position of the arbor(piled full of counterweights) which is always in the opposite position that the scenic element hanging on his batten will be in; Henry has 'instinctively' taken notice of the positions of any setwagons that will begin to move as soon as the flypieces have flown out of the way; noticing where the personnel are in relation to all this moving hardware; yes, and looking to see just where I have gone off to.

is this schooling expensive for your father?
Phillip
Good afternoon my all brothers , sisters and honorable relatives.
Mistake: path , defeat to victory.
We born on the earth .we are man , making mistakes is our nature . It's not bad but we must lean with them and we must try to insure that I'll happen again and again.
Making mistake is not bad but making same mistake again and again , it's very bad manner . You know guys what is the difference between man and animal ? Man and animal both are make mistakes but man always learn with his mistake and animal don't do like this .
I'm always suffering with my weakness or bad habits .. but I know how can I handle to myself with my problems . I want take some risk in my future but clever risk .
Some days ago I had decided that I'll never open my Facebook because it was time wasting for me but I'm take risk with facebook ,I want learn English ..
I want travel Form bottom to Top ..
I want become Excellent in English that's why I'm taking risk.
So guys If you want become successful in any field then you must make a lot mistakes ..
You must take some clever risks.
You must set a roll model who can inspire you and gives you courage for stand in difficulty with double energy and with double excitement .
Now I have set my roll model who is A.P.J Abdul kalam.
He was a great man , leader, scientist, president as well as a great Indian.
Thank you ..be positive .
Yessss. . It's mine
Phillip
role models do not speak sweetness into your ears
can you handle the naked TRUTH?
Nooo my schooling is not expensive for my father because government provide facility
Nooo A P J Abdul Kalam is my inspiration
Phillip
state school is where I went to college/age eighteen/paid all my tuition and text books/ was living at home until I was twenty
I'll try to copy his character in my life
Phillip
I think it was his photo I shared onto my timeline... for you
Yessss
I also help to my family in agriculture..As much as I can
Phillip
in high school, we learned GEORGIA HISTORY; in your pre-college studies, are you taught about "THE COLONY" and the struggle for self-determination?
college man's way of saying that he is just a farm-boy
what sort of labor is a help to your family?
there is NO SHAME in working a farm for subsistence
Noo we are land lord
We have around 40 acre fild
Phillip
you now have three assignments,... if you want to continue improving your command of the English language with me
It's very hard to manage it..
Yessss speak sir... Why are you getting angry with me?
Phillip
how many workers live on this forty acres?
not angry; demanding improvement
A number of workers.. around 15
Including their own family
I mean ..They work in my field with they own families members ..
Phillip
if you were a writer, how much of the time you should spend writing, would you sacrifice, to talk like we are talking, with one who only wants to be a writer; your first statement was five minutes a day
when you are describing these economic realities on your father's forty acre farm, you are giving me something I can write about
I told that .. 5 minutes a day speaking with me not chating
Chating it's very easy for me .. But speaking is very very hard
Phillip
your profile story admits that hatting on facebook is fool's game
typo:CHATTING
Yessss. ..I don't like Facebook
But it's source of English learning
That's I use it . Whenever I'll learn it completely I'll left it
Phillip
you MUST stop doing what is EASY for you, and begin the long process of doing the most difficult things, until they become easy
I mntioned THREE assignments; NAME ALL THREE
typo:MENTIONED
you are not using FaceBook right now; you are USING ME
Means ?

If you are bored then you can go
Phillip

Pod people?
Phillip

Phillip

open your e-mails and read them; write something that I can read and comment on; send whatever you have written in an e-mail; get off this stupid MESSENGER; do this NOW
Actually I can't understand you sir ? Maybe I'm weak in English
Phillip
