Anja, Sheida,

Sorry to have missed the anniversary last month -- was preoccupied.

Thanks again for all your work in keeping the Young Americans board alive.

We can't let this teen drama turn twenty, can we? I suggest that next year's anniversary be the fifth celebration of YA's 16th birthday.

Finnegan

Finnegan, I'm glad you stopped by!

We're definitely going for the 20th next year! If I have to continue to age, then so does the show!

A twenty-year old teen drama? That evokes one of Krudski's words: "oxymoron."

5th iteration of YA's 16th anniversary coming soon

Anja, Sheida,

The dogwoods are blooming in Maryland.

Five years more than 16 years ago, Steve Antin and his crew began shooting Young Americans at Havre de Grace and various sites in and around Baltimore.

Time to start planning the 5th iteration of YA's 16th anniversary.

My wife, having had the wisdom to marry a gentlemen, never has birthdays of higher number than 16; instead, we celebrate anniversaries of her 16th birthday.

I suggest that we do likewise for Young Americans. No teen drama should ever turn 21 -- especially YA. The penultimate episode ends with a 16th birthday party for a reason. And the setting's called "Rawley Academy" for a reason, which is arguably the last verse of Sir Walter Raleigh's best and best-known poem, arguably the best Elizabethan poem:
But could youth last and love still breed,
Had joys no date, nor age no need,
Then these delights my mind might move
To live with thee and be thy love.
The whole point of the show is that by dreaming, by imagination, youth can last and love still can breed. The last shot, the Dean's you-can-come-back note to Will, is shot in a mirror for a reason, the same reason why all the anachronisms are at Bella's gas station: to convey that one is never to old to go back to Rawley, a school of true love for which the entrance exam to to reprise the humility of youth.

So let's not let YA turn 21. Let it stay 16 forever. This year, let's celebrate the 5th iteration of YA's 16th anniversary.

Best regards,
Finnegan

We all have to age, if I don't get to change that then the show doesn't either But luckily it still has another year before turning 21.
