      • Mrs. Helen Handler - Survivor
        01/19/07
        Mrs. Helen Handler, a delightful person who is also a Holocaust survivor, spoke to Valerie's classes yesterday. It was a truly remarkable experience for everyone.

      • Les Paul at the Iridium Jazz Club
        01/10/07
        While in Manhattan over Christmas we dropped in to see the incomparable Les Paul. His name is embossed on many of the guitars used in rock and jazz over the last half century. He is also partly responsible for innovating multi-track recording.
