Attention members of the “so fine” class of ‘69! I expect to see all of you at the “Peary Community Homecoming 2000” festival June 16-18! For a detailed schedule and other information, check out the Robert E. Peary High School Alumni Association web site at: http://www.pearyalum.org

Personal notes:

Go the “CD NOW” web site: http://www.cdnow.com, click on “folk/blues” and read this week’s “feature review’ of the “English Originals” CD (written by yours truly!). I am now the music editor for “Big World,” an alternative travel magazine. Issue #17 will be out in a few weeks.

For more information, visit the “Big World” web site at:

http://www.bigworld.com I also now contribute CD reviews to “Sing Out!,” the famed folk music magazine. And D.C. area residents can catch occasional event preview blurbs written by me on the “City Lights” page of “Washington City Paper.” Kids grow up!!-My niece Elizabeth (“Liz”) Bieber just celebrated her 12^th birthday and my nephew Sam Bieber turned 15 last January!! Wow!!

Went to Cape May, New Jersey last weekend-what a neat place; the closest thing this side of the Atlantic to a British style sea-side city. Not only does it have a boardwalk, neat architecture, and THE OCEAN!! (I played “tourist” and took photos of the beach, ocean, and sea gulls wandering about on the sand), there’s also a great clothing store called “Ze-bop” (across from the boardwalk) where one can purchase really cool hippie style stuff! If you get there, give an enthusiastic “peace’n’luv” to the owner Joe and be sure to tell him where you read about his shop!

This weekend my sister Diane and her husband Jeff are celebrating their 25^th wedding anniversary!! How time flies!! Me-I’m enjoying my “third adolescence!”

Best wishes for a wonderful summer to all “Huskies,” their families, and friends!!
