Goodness gracious, can this be the same little izumi Couch that I used to see at Mrs.Payne…..(piano teacher)? I’d be waiting for my daughter, Jenny ro finsh her lesson and you’d be arriving for yours.
Also, think I last saw you at the Kimbel Art Musem. You told me then that your brother was working for Wired Magazine in SF, last night was watching a PBS TV series, Wired Science and I made the connection. I’ve remarried and am living in Weybridge, VT (very near Middlebury) and an hour or so east of Lake Placid. If you’re ever in the area, please drop by. Al Wright, formerly FW
