welcome to visit. I did bump into
Terry Gruber,
my fellow photo
enthusiast, who hasn’t changed
his enthusiasm or his haircut.”

trying to stay healthy (and
hydrated) during these semi-
retirement years. I’ve started
doing the (N.H.) 4,000 footers
- did #17 last Thursday. Check
out my blog at: dixonheading-

contradict Gregg, it often
is
only
about the hike.”

my business partner and I
regained our former software

in business as TimeWarp Tech-

interactive software for per-

hobbyists. Our flagship product
is a score-following app that
shows music notation on the

turning the pages automatically.
Our long-distance appwill con-

updates
us from California: “Let’s see...
earthquake (a direct hit), major
fires (oblique singeing), pesti-
lence (minor but nasty, being a
plague of yellow jackets rather
than locusts)...nope, no news
to report of any consequence.
Grape and fruit harvests pro-
ceed with all due promise that
nasty and much overrated
sobriety might yet be abated.”
From
Spencer Rumsey
: “We
now have two sons in college: a
freshman at SUNY Binghamton,
who’s a physics major, and a
senior at SUNY Geneseo, a his-
tory and Spanish major, who’s
in Spain for his fall semester. I
think our beagle mutt believes
we put them in an animal shel-
ter like the one in which we
found him, because he keeps
looking at us funny. Meanwhile,
my wife is a school psychologist
working with developmentally
challenged preschoolers, while
I continue as the senior editor
at the Long Island Press, now
totally online in a “hope springs
eternal” business model. I was
recently on the local Cablevi-
sion news channel, discussing
Marilyn Monroe for a two-
minute feature they call “Hidden
Long Island.” Apparently the
producer had read my piece
about MM on LI last year and
then convinced me to meet her
in August at the beach where
the budding young actress ca-
vorted in 1949 when she came
to NYC to promote her role in
the last Marx Brothers movie.
I admit I was never a fan, no
posters of Marilyn ever hung
on my walls at St. Paul’s, but
I have come to appreciate her
more over the years. One of
my weekly tennis adversaries
said he was in his doctor’s office
and saw me on TV five times in
the waiting room. I think he’s
exaggerating, but he did seem to
play against my doubles partner
and me with more ferocity than
usual.”
And, finally, back to the East
and
Tony Sherer
: “I am teach-
ing modern world history and
a seminar on the Cold War at
the Woodhall School in Beth-
lehem, Conn., and, of course, I
direct the plays! Woodhall is an
all-boys boarding school in the
middle of nowhere, and the an-
nual tuition is equal to the GNP
of Uruguay. Sound familiar? I’ve
been teaching now for 25 years
and, even with two master’s
degrees and countless licenses
and certificates on the wall, the
most important sources for
good practice come from my
years at St. Paul’s. Every day, I
recognize all of us in the faces
of these young men struggling
with the same issues we did
but in different times, and I
thank Lederer, Tracy, Burnam,
Faulkner, Smith, and MacDon-
ald, et al., for modeling what it
is to be a true educator. It is an
enormous blessing to be in this
profession.”

No more rock ‘n’ roll this sum-
