1) Is this our Susan C?--looks like her. As I recall, she was a violinist,
just like DZ.

2) Was Sandra Loh also a violinist, or did she play the cello in the Samohi
orchestra? I just CANNOT remember. So sue me.
BTW, there is no pic of S'Loh on her Wikipedia page. Do any of us have one
that we're willing to public-domain? (Today I public-domain; yesterday, I
public-domained; many times, I have pubic-domained.)
DC: can you pull that one you took of S'Loh, Caroline Pfouts, and me at the
UCLA Book Festival some years back, and crop/p-shop Caroline and me out of
it? Just a thought.
