My first blog was about Esther Goldman, a wonderful woman who greatly influenced Jerry’s career path. In this season of joy and thankfulness, I would be remiss if I failed to share one person who changed my life dramatically. You’ve probably seen the 1991 movie “What About Bob?” and if …
My college roommate from 53 years ago just sent me an email about the Ten Commandments and what a huge role they played in our Nation’s government in Washington, DC. The commandment that keeps coming to mind is “Thou shall not steal.” OK, so here’s what happened. While touring the …
What a fun and whirlwind weekend from last Thursday night through Sunday evening when I had the amazing privilege of flying to Washington, DC with local Madrigal Choir Director, Nancie Tobison, her group of more than a dozen singers and chaperones. We met up in DC with the Barrington Village …
