I've started a blog about Baila's art which, much neglected, still has some useful stuff about her: http://bailafeldman.blogspot.com/ If you want to connect via e-mail I'm at josh[at sign]cooperedtot.com Rhea teaches elementary school in Palo Alto (and is the best educator for kids you could possibly imagine). Robert is still with us - 89 and sick with COPD but still loving and caring with his big beautiful heart. I was just a little kid then, and in many ways I still am. I live in NJ and work at The Morgan Library - a museum of books and manuscripts and drawings - in New York city. Give Toronto a big kiss for me! Love that town!

I knew your parents in the '60s in a Gurdjieff group, and remember them still as fascinating, warm, interesting, talented people. Happy to see Rhea in this picture also. She knew my daughters. My name then was Barbara Jensen and then Barbara Wright. I live in Toronto now!B en routehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01299510119705179908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-85713224217699544.post-27296702388263364552014-07-15T12:08:14.642-04:002014-07-15T12:08:14.642-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.testhttp://test.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-85713224217699544.post-21767972601936278142012-06-18T10:17:38.123-04:002012-06-18T10:17:38.123-04:00Thanks Johanne.

Ultimately, we all do what we can and are able to do. Each of us makes our choices and ultimately that's all we're really able to control. But love given is returned; what you get is what you give. I know you give a ton and make a loving home for your daughter and your community and so you heal up the world with the choices you make. Your warmth now spreads around the world, Lassie. I see it every day.NewYorkJoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01236276465833621198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-85713224217699544.post-29252309961242562972012-06-18T10:01:41.060-04:002012-06-18T10:01:41.060-04:00I was not as fortunate as many of you as my dad wa...I was not as fortunate as many of you as my dad was absent from my life by the time I was 10. I envy and delight in these stories! Anyone can become a father, the blogs I read this weekend prove many step up to be a DAD. There's a big difference in both. Here's to Coop's dad as "Coop" is a warm, friendly, intelligent and kind person. Now we know why!<br /><br />:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-85713224217699544.post-49189791982651730182012-06-17T22:53:35.312-04:002012-06-17T22:53:35.312-04:00Yes, good fathers make good fathers out of their s...Yes, good fathers make good fathers out of their sons.
