Love That Lasts a Lifetime… and Beyond ❤ David and Lindamerry Udell first met in college in 1975, but life took them in different directions and they lost touch for decades. Lindamerry shared, “When I turned 36, I woke up one day wanting to find a song he had written for me back in 1976. He had written it down, but I couldn't find it anywhere. I cried for a whole day. It was then I realized I was so stupid to let him go. I had thought about him all these years. He was the one that got away—and it turned out he felt the same way.” In 2016, they found their way back to each other and chose Eau Claire as their new home. Both are community builders and creatives who value the artistic energy growing in the Chippewa Valley. Music and visual arts have always played a meaningful role in their lives, which is why they believe in supporting Pablo Center. Today, the Udells are leaving a lasting legacy. As the newest members of Pablo Center’s Encore Society, they’ve made a commitment to the future of the arts through planned giving. And with a recent contribution to our Name-a-Seat campaign, their love—for each other and for the arts—will be forever etched into the fabric of our RCU Theatre in Row K. ✨ Thanks to David and Lindamerry, their legacy—and their love—will live on through the power of the arts. 🎨 Learn more about Planned Giving and Name a Seat at the links in our bio!
