MILLERTON — Terry Wayne Sutherlin, 85, a resident of Millerton since 2008, formerly of Pine Plains, died peacefully on Sunday, Feb. 9, 2025, at his home in Millerton. Mr. Sutherlin was a retired freelance actor and also an accountant for several large corporations prior to his retirement in 2007.

Born Oct. 29, 1939, in Redding, California, he was the son of the late Audley W. and Evelyn (Laslow) Sutherlin. Following high school, he attended Antioch University and received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Theater. He served his country in the United States Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps (JAG Corps) as an investigator prior to his honorable discharge. Terry Wayne lived in Hawaii with his parents when Pearl Harbor was attacked and between the ages of 7 and 20 he lived in Arabia before returning to the United States. In September, 2000, in Los Angeles, California, he married Antonia E. (Fritz) DiFrancesco. Antonia survives at home in Millerton. Terry traveled extensively throughout his lifetime and had a very successful career as a freelance actor. He appeared in many motion pictures and commercials and he is a longtime member of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG). He treasured the many lifelong friendships that were created during his career as an actor. Terry was not one to “drop names” of his friends, but if he had, they would be some of the most recognizable in the industry. In his spare time, he enjoyed reading and spending time with his loving family and many friends. In addition to his wife, Antonia, Terry is survived by three children; Seth Sutherlin, Aeden Sutherlin and Barb Stout; and four step-children, David DiFrancesco, Christopher DiFrancesco, Bruce Ingalls and Lisa Ingalls; his grandson, Elija Sutherlin; his sister, Cheryl and his best friend, Steve Furman and his wife Jane of Houston, Texas.

There are no calling hours. Cremation will take place at Poughkeepsie Rural Cem-etery. Arrangements have been entrusted to the Scott D. Conklin Funeral Home, 37 Park Avenue, Millerton, NY 12546. To send an online condolence to the family, please visit www.conklinfuneralhome.com

Siglio Press: Uncommon books at the intersection of art and literature

Uncommon books at the intersection of art and literature.

Richard Kraft

Siglio Press is a small, independent publishing house based in Egremont, Massachusetts, known for producing “uncommon books at the intersection of art and literature.” Founded and run by editor and publisher Lisa Pearson, Siglio has, since 2008, designed books that challenge conventions of both form and content.

A visit to Pearson’s airy studio suggests uncommon work, to be sure. Each of four very large tables were covered with what looked to be thousands of miniature squares of inkjet-printed, kaleidoscopically colored pieces of paper. Another table was covered with dozens of book/illustration-size, abstracted images of deer, made up of colored dots. For the enchanted and the mystified, Pearson kindly explained that these pieces were to be collaged together as artworks by the artist Richard Kraft (a frequent contributor to the Siglio Press and Pearson’s husband). The works would be accompanied by writings by two poets, Elizabeth Zuba and Monica Torre, in an as-yet-to-be-named book, inspired by a found copy of a worn French children’s book from the 1930s called “Robin de Bois” (Robin Hood).
