ON TO SAN FRANCISCO
We met up with Bryna before lunch and went to her house to pick up the paintings. Bryna and I have known each other since 1963 when we team taught at Lokrantz in the San Fernando Valley. The school was for physically handicapped chhildren and our classes were for preschool and kindergarten children. We have been friends ever since. One of the paintings are of Bryna and the girls and the other is of Bryna at school, at the table with the children playing with play dough. I still can name the children in the painting. I wonder if Bryna can. I bet she can. Bryna lives near Golden Gate Park and she and her co-ownwner are also business partners. Gwen is an Ocupational Therapist and Bryna is an Educational Therapist. They sometimes share patients but always share space. It is a terrific arrangement for both of them. At lunch time Bryna drove us to a Russian restaurant in her neighborhood. I had Pilemini and Cory had Borscht and we all shared an asortment of Piroshki. Very good food and we haven't had Russion food since Moscva Cliff went out of business - many years ago. It was a little too short a visit with Bryna because she had to get back to work but the time we had was very enjoyable.
