Jane was typing away while the rest of us got in the car and drove to Johnson Park where Suzanne carried the food and Benjamin made his way past Brian Blount into the school so that we could sit next to the Steinhardt's when Tony Klockenbrink and Emily appeared.

Before we knew it, the 3rd graders came in and the concert began with Ben on the end of the row and here chatting with his neighbor then exploring the scenery until we zoomed in before the instruments appeared and Ian Snyder's brother was amused by the recorder chorus.

Afterwards, Joel hid as Suzanne talked and Ben watched Audrey Straus and Suzanne imagine that Kathy Klockenbrink was somehow inspiring smiles from Wayne Meisel and Betsy Ie on the sidelines.
