Extra Innings
“She is now a physician, a psychiatrist, I think, and she sends me her mother’s words on the subject of aging: After fifty years in existence things become antiques. They have moved up from being discardables to collectibles.
Another, from Doreen Kelly, a former Saint Rose student, who reminds me that I provided a bit of spice to her English class. She recalls that I once explained the plethora of wire coat hangers by suggesting that they copulated and reproduced on the floor of closets. Odd wha...t students remember. I cannot even remember thinking this, let alone saying it in the early sixties to a class of proper Catholic girls. Well, perhaps they were not as proper as I thought they were at the time.
If ever I have cause to create a character who is a fifteen-year-old boy, I will be able to use a valuable piece of background detail just given me. An acquaintance, Nancy Wittig, who is an Episcopal priest in Philadelphia, had dinner with us this week at Saigon Gourmet. She is on sabbatical and working, reading, and writing at the College of Preachers on the Cathedral hill.MoreLess
