The Maestro
The compound's going to be called a Leonard Bernstein ARTFUL LEARNING compound next year. I was pronouncing the maestro's name incorrectly, but I've learned if you just remember "Leonard Beer Stein," you'll do okay. Tomorrow I'm going to go into some classrooms to show kids a power point about Artful Learning because Leonard's son Alexander is going to visit us on Friday and we want all the peeps to know who he is and why he's visiting. Our local glossy magazine has the maestro on the cover this month because he spent a lot of time in our little town. I thought I'd weave some of the article into the power point. Here are some of the quotes that probably won't go into the power point. "...when Mr. Bernstein showed up, the liquor flowed more freely than it normally did..."
"he behave(d) with impropriety, especially at parties where he often outlasted his welcome."
He "was charming, if a little inebriated."
The maestro's going to fit right in at the compound, where people like to work hard and play hard. Mostly play hard. He'll inspire us all.

And, I don't know how to attach it here, but I have a copy of a talk his son, Jamie, did about his father's teaching and learning. It's great!
I will send it to your email address, but don't remember what address you're using. Will try MCCSC.
