BONUS: Matt Ripa of Catholic University on Discovering the Gingham Dress!

Matt Ripa of Catholic University unexpectedly went down in Oz history earlier this year when he discovered a missing gingham dress worn by Judy Garland in 1939's "The Wizard of Oz." Gifted to Father Hartke by actress Mercedes McCambridge in 1972, the dress was hidden away in a trash bag for decades until Matt's fortunate discovery. Today he shares more about his background in theatre, directing and his own artistic visions of the world of Oz.
