School Story:

Parked Mom's car at a fire hydrant on a day when a fire drill was called, so of course I got a ticket. Very embarrassing, went back to biking to school. Best memories were as a girls' leader, lettered in 4 sports and gained a red S. Field hockey was just wonderful. Also, AP History with Szwaja and Maggie Jones and English with James Snavely. My 91 yr old dad and I still sing the Tom Lehrer songs from the album he shared with us.

Loved reading your update. Your leadership skills + good humor still shine thru. Happy BD. I'm also in a music group that performs ensemble, Jacktown Ukes. I don't play a ukelele, but a guitar. Also , maybe u remember my dad was a cellist in Cleve Orchestra for 48 yrs, so I love the cello. Be well, love, Ces

My mom's poem on Toussaint L'overture waS put to music by Hale Smith, who did arranging w Quincy Jones. Did u say u attended her salons for poets? I also a trying to improve my piano skills. Better to practice than to listen to the news. Also I'm in a Jacktown Ukes group. We're playing a gig at the Walker Tavern this summer. Congrats on your future career. I gave presentations on Sons + Soldiers -my dad + his cousin are listed in the back as Richie Boys. Maybe we're related- I'm doing a zoom w relatives in Israel May 6.My cousin, Dorit Seligson Edut discovered 2,000 on our family tree. Crazy, no?
