Squirrel meets walnut

Posted by Fred Steiner on April 28, 2010 - 10:31pm

Meet Squirrel Nutkin. This cute little guy left the nest a week or two early, and The Icon found him roaming around the lawn at 226 Grove St., with no fear or knowledge of pedators. During this photo shoot he requested a walnut (off the shell) and demonstrates how to devote it. He has since learned to climb trees and is now jumping from limb to limb.

Vie gehts?

Posted by Fred Steiner on April 28, 2010 - 10:43am

When one grows up surrounded by relatives speaking their native (non-English) language, the tendency is to pick up at least a few words and phrases that become a part of one's own vocabulary. In the case of my husband and me, that language is Swiss.

Don't bother trying to tell me there is no Swiss language because having come from a long, long line of Swiss-speaking relatives, that simply won't fly. It is not German. It is Swiss.

Teri Sato

Where were you born? Is that where you grew up? What did your parents do in the way of work? Do you have siblings?

I was born in Tokyo, Japan in 1942. Father graduated from Texas A&M and had done work related to cotton business and import/export of agriculture between the U.S. and Japan. For a short time, Mother was a physical therapist having studied at Japan campus of the Bouv'e-Boston School of Physical Education, but she married young and stayed at home thereafter as most of the women of her era did. I have a brother and a sister in Japan.
