I say that with a smile, and a story.

Siena College, years ago, had a wonderful man who worked with a music teacher at my children's middle school on an endeavor to introduce young students to opera. This wonderful man and other generous older opera fans helped cover the costs of transporation and tickets to the opera for middle school students who were interested. My youngest participated in this opera club that they put together. It was such an incredible experience for her. She absolutely loved the opera, and the dressing up all fancy for it. To my delight, she got to meet Justice Ginsburg at Glimmerglass who was also in attendance that day.
