Don McLean

Don McLean (DGE’65, CAS’67) of Guilford, Vt., edited and published Sparks: The Collected Writing (The Midnight Press, 2013), a book of poems, short stories, and one-act plays written by his mother, Jean Stewart McLean. The publication date, November 2013, marked the 50th anniversary of his mother’s death in 1963, when Don was a freshman at BU. The book was launched at a party presented by Friends of Music at Guilford, which featured the performance of a skit written by his mother and the premiere of Don’s Eleven Songs, set to her poems and sung by his wife, Evelyn (Jacobs) McLean (CGS’63).
