Dan Elaine (DiFalco) Daugherty-
Many, many years ago, Dan and Elaine
met backstage while working tech for Guys and Dolls in Hauck. They
were married in 1999. After working as the Technical Director
(Dan) and Adjunct Acting Faculty (Elaine) at UMaine for 8 or 9
years, they recently left Maine. They are currently living in
Lafayette, IN where Dan is pursuing an MFA in Technical Production
at Purdue University. Elaine is putting her two Theatre degrees
to good use by working as the Property Manager for Foxfire
Apartments, (which snags them a very nice discount on rent while
they tough out three years in the Bible belt...three long years.)
Thankfully, they have the most beautiful little boy in the world
(the precocious and talented Mr. Michael Shea Daugherty)to keep
them busy enough to (almost) not notice how strange this part of
the country is. Let's hear it for liberal tree-hugging hippies on
the East Coast!
Contact Elaine on First Class or at

We always love to hear from UM!

plan to be in Orono for Homecoming every year with my Greek
