An Open Blog to Marisa Fusaro

Marisa, I have to tell you first that you now hold the all time record for "comments" on my blog without being a listed contributor: FOUR! That is fine though. Each one was necessary. I want to tell you that I really wish I had an extra copy of the book "Togetherness". They really do become precious with time, don't they? However, the last extra one I had I mailed to REPRESENTATIVE Pedone and that was a few years ago. (You see how much attention I pay to politics. I thought Vimmy was a senator. I think it was last year that another teacher and myself went to the statehouse to lobby for the cost of living increase for the retired teachers. I saw Vinny's aide and he gave me a tour of the state house. (I met his mother a few months ago.) In fact Vinny voted for it, but I think the governor vetoed it. Anyway,that's not why I am writing this. My daughter Cathy told me she would scan your play, "The Missing Emeralds" and send it to you. She lives out of town and if she doesn't do it fast enough, i will get a copy of it to your mother on Daniels St.
Maybe you should consider producing Vinny
Pedone's letter "The Dream" in which he dreams about visiting the President in Washington!! No kidding. It is really something. You should see the handwriting! What a class that was! Phenomenal. Now, when you produce this play and have the red carpet and the search lights shining back and forth across the night sky and you are prancing around with your REAL emeralds around your neck, I hope when the TV reporter thrusts that microphone in your face you won't forget how to spell my name!!! .....Was Judy Warren around during your time? She televises the Worcester School Committee meetings now. Those classes melt together with time. I remember that we had some old (new then) television equipment that we took out on the street and took to D"Amico's Bakery on Shrewsbury Street and videoed the bread baking in the oven. Was that your class? Did you join the blog yet?...I will bug you until you do......I will send you my enrollment key so that you can look in on my Moodle online ESL class ) (one student--a scientist in New York) if you want.....Bye for now..

Unfortunately, my printer/scanner is not working, so... I'm afraid I won't be able to do the scan. I think you've already figured out a way to do it though, so that's good.

You can just take a photograph of each page with a digital camera and e-mail the photos - the resolution will be good enough to zoom in and read.

Just take the pics in a well lit area, and shoot them landscape so the page nearly fills the photo.
