I believeI was 4 when this Suzuki Final Concert photo was taken in Calgary.... with others? Saturday string quartets. My teacher, Lise Elson, organizedthree violin students and a willing cellist. The violinists tookturns playing viola.... of thinking of yourself as a musician? I was 9, at MeadowmountSummer School (8 weeks in upstate New York). I met somenew, slightly older friends. I was so impressed with their talent anddedication ... this was what I wanted to do!Do you remember ever thinking you would do anything else?In my final year at the Curtis Institute we all filled out career surveys.Mine revealed that I might make a good Forest Ranger or FireFighter. Six weeks later I received an invitation from the PhiladelphiaFire Department to come and join the force!Face-to-/ ace with little Annalee in that photo, is there anythingyou'd say?
