Hidden Treasure
It’s a given that the members of this year’s Faculty Field Tour are fabulous scholars and teachers, but there are many hidden treasures as well. Last night I discovered a bass player, a bass singer in women’s barbershop quartets, someone who plays the banjo, a hiker, a biker (he rode from Skamania Lodge to the Dalles as a morning tune up), poets, philosophers and someone who can sing like Miriam Makeba - including the throat clicks. What a group, what a great tour so far….ok, I’m a little biased.
