What thuh...?
I was Doc's assistant that summer!
In the great imaginary competition that was going on a while back on these airwaves for Best Summer Ever, I thought about claiming a special category of award for this summer: Worst Summer Ever. None of you, I believe, can claim that title -- so there!
One of the things that surfaced when I met with Britt Block for coffee last weekend was that 1981, which for me was my worst, most traumatic summer at Winedale, was for Britt the best. And that in 1989, when Britt returned as Doc's assistant and I returned as (merely) an older student. Britt had a tough summer, and I had a lovely one. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if someone remembered 1990 as a peak experience.
By the way, Britt says a personal hi to all of us, and especially to Doc!
