Sweeney Todd.

Brian Collins
& Renée Fleming,
at donor luncheon
(not shown: George)
A
few weeks after Sweeney Todd, George and Brian
attended a donor luncheon. They met Renée
again and had a picture taken with her.
When George and Brian approached her, she promptly recognized them, saying, "I
know you! Brian and George."
(As Brian recalls, "She even remembered us!")
Tragically, George was mistakenly cropped out of the shot.
He has promised to eventually forgive the photographer.
