Thanks for another look into the past. Glad to see that Paul Keister (Bick) is alive and kicking and relishes the old time like i do. Best of the holiday season to all !
I got a kick out of the photo of Jeff Orling on his boat and seeing that he has remained loyal to Westies all these years. I remember him in the 70’s walking his three Westies down the streets of Manhattan without leashes!! … quite a feat with strong-willed terriers. All it took for them to behave was an occasional “Come-on girls” and they’d snap to and continue to obediently troddle down the street behind him!
It's always a lift to see a Wheatley newsletter in my inbox. I have great memories of the school AND my neighborhood and reading it brings it all back. Thanks for your (and Keith's) dedication to keeping it going.
Thank you, Art! This newsletter is bright spot in my inbox, always. I'm getting ready to leave for my second winter in Mexico, fulfilling a long-held dream to study Spanish. Last year I took 10 weeks (200 hours) at Oaxaca International School; this winter I'll dive more deeply into the subjunctive and other twisted tenses at the same school. Very glad to be leaving Oregon winter for Oaxaca, an enchanting city of public art, deep history, welcoming people, and perfect weather. Big appreciation to Wheatley's Romance Language teachers (in particular Mr. Fradkin, Mme Desbonnet, Mrs. Feindler, Signora Briefel) who gave me such a great foundation in French and Italian that learning Spanish has been a pleasure. Looking forward to reconnecting with my '73 classmates next October!
I am very grateful for what you are doing. Thanks to you I have managed to visit our school and most important see gain Gloria Oliver my dearest Spanish teacher, 30 years after... This visit in October has been such a highlight for my family and I. I will never forget it. MERCI :-)
