I remember it very clearly. They were sitting on the sofa in the living room in the Daly City house. Ben sat quietly and listened to the whole poem. When Dad finished he asked Ben what he thought the poem meant. Ben put his finger to his mouth, smiled his Cheshire Cat smile, (which he still thankfully has) and said, "Dont be a fly.

Thank you so much for the wonderful opportunity for my children to "Become Conductors." Our whole family really enjoyed your recent family concert at CSM, even beyond the thrilling experience of my eldest son, Ethan, actually conducting the orchestra! Maestra Bejarano did a fantastic job throughout the program highlighting different aspects of the musical experience. From types of instruments to dramatic moments, she brought up so many musical concepts that enhanced the way we listened to the music. The musicians were more than professional after the event where they shared stories and information and their precious instruments - they were warm, friendly and encouraging. They showed true pleasure in sharing music with children, which was probably my 2nd favorite part of the show. My very favorite part was, of course, to watch my son conduct the orchestra: a truly special, once-in-a-lifetime experience. You are more than welcome to use any quote from that blog entry or from this letter! I describe one son sleeping - he sleeps everywhere. I describe another son as saying he's bored; he always says he's bored when he's feeling a little overwhelmed. He was absolutel engaged and learning, and absoutely enjoyed it. With gratitude, Katie Lipka Hi Kat!

We don't know eachother, but I've been reading what people wrote. I learned about the reunion today...to late. Anyways, I wanted to comment that I like your website and the colorful background! Take Care, Mark Berbower. Hi, I saw your website from the BHS 88 reunion site. We don’t know eachother, but I’ve been reading what people wrote. I learned about the reunion today…to late.
