Pilates ... my nephew turns 13 tomorrow ... remains hideously cold ... one of the Chabad boys who visits me is interested in American history: a first as they usually focus on Jewish matters exclusively... my cousins' aunt died, the lovely & generous Irene Walstad Myrabo Kucinski—her sister was married to my mother's brother, so I always think of her 5 kids as close-enough quasi-cousins; we're family. Her second husband, Leo Kucinski, directed many orchestras I played in back in South Dakota. I hate to see my mother's generation going. Irene was 93.
