80+ and learning

 This is my friend Sara Stovall


Sara Stovall



Communications Manager at the Sarasota Orchestra.
Sara and her partner Bill McMahon hosted an Apartment Warming party yesterday afternoon.
'Twas wonderful     I learned so  much.
I talked with a photographer who had been stranded abroad after 9/11  He spoke of returning an an America which felt like a morgue.

Then we chatted about the untimely deaths of dogs we'd had.

There was a woman who is on the staff at New College.  We were sad and angry about the politically engineered demise of the College.  
Imagine meeting a Composer.  As a kid he had a guitar.  Once he had mastered the instrument he began to improvise ,and thus drifted into musical composition. 
 No names of course but another guest is a leading Graphic Designer at the Asolo Theatre.   That's an amazingly intense and complicated task.  Imagine having to read the scripts of plays before you even begin. 
Our co-host Bill is with a Venice FL company which reviews and assesses new inventions; then sources materials, and companies which could build the invention, using American owned businesses in order to enable or create American workers.  There's patriotism for you.
What a memorable party. Terrific hosts and fascinating guests.  It cleared some of the cobwebs from my brain.
