She had been professor of music at Vassar. It's a real person. She earned a bachelor’s degree from Hunter College, and a Ph.D. And so we had a connection and we had a lovely dinner and we went to some opera - I don't remember which one, and then (there) must have been somebody (who) called me to join the board originally. The three of us had a German teacher.

I graduated at 21, and I enrolled at Columbia in 1971, so I was 32 years old when I enrolled. The soundboard cracked, and they replaced the piano. That's all I remember really, and then it became Otello. And my sister decided when she saw that piano, that she wanted to play the harp. And I knew that I couldn't (as most graduate students in music must do) go and spend time in Europe.

The parents. And when I thought about it later, I think that's really pretty good advice for a young person.

We enjoyed each other's company. And I think it's really important that someone who has had such a leadership role is someone people can talk to, thanks to a video interview. I wound up playing that harp, you know, for a little bit, nothing much, but my mother knew that was not going to work. My mother was a local piano teacher, so she played the piano and she was a piano teacher for young people in the neighborhood.
