We finally arranged to meet for dinner at the Brasserie 292 in downtown Poughkeepsie. We had been there a number of times before. Sometimes it had been good and sometimes less good. The meal was the best we have ever had there. I had a pork chop, which was spectacularly good. Catherine (Murphy), and Alexis had the skate, and Shirley had the bouillabaisse, all of which were delicious. Alexis is just finishing up her term of being chair of the art department at UMass Amherst. It was good to see Alexis and Shirley after all this time.]]> We all wanted to have dinner together before we went to London.]]> We had dinner with Tom Nozkowski, Joyce Robins, and Judy Linn for Tom's Birthday. Tom treated everybody. Right after dinner, we followed Tom and Joyce in our car because they wanted to show us something. We went to Applestone Meat Co. It was really something- a bit like the old Horn and Hardart Automats with glass doors that you can open when you have put money in a slot. Applestone's is open 24 hours a day. I am not sure of the exact story, but it goes roughly like this. Fleishers Grass-Fed Butcher was in Rhinebeck at some point and closed some time ago. They were also in Kingston, I think, after Rhinebeck. It was owned and run by a couple. Kingston also closed. Then they opened Applestone in Stone Ridge. Somewhere in all of this, the couple separated. I think the wife may have been the person who ran the Stone Ridge store. And her husband opened a store in Brooklyn. I think I remember that his father or grandfather had a butcher shop. When the store was in Rhinebeck, we went to it from time to time. I cannot vouch for this narrative, but some of it is correct. Postscript: Tom called to tell us that someone from Butterfield called him because I had left my glasses there. Judy Linn picked them up and gave them to me at the Vassar Student Majors' Critique on March 27th.]]> Cappy gave a dinner in honor of Barbara Page, who is retiring from Vassar College.]]> Carol and Helen had a Bastille Day dinner.]]> We and a few other of our friends were invited to dinner at Carole and Helen's house.]]> Left to Right - Judith Dollenmayer, is Elisabeth Cardonne Arlyck, Barbara Page, Catherine Murphy, Carole Maso (at the head of the table), Louis Asekoff (to the right of Carole, or left), Louise Kalin, Ralph Arlyck, Helen Lang, My chair.]]> It was a close call.

Stephen (Westfall) cooked up various vegetables in the kitchen. Elena and David grilled hamburgers and the pork roast that Suzanne brought. Everyone at dinner was at ‘T’ Space in the afternoon. I had known everyone at dinner for quite some time, except for Yuri, who I thought I was meeting for the first time.
