WO!!!!!
Scott Hosfeld is my musical father! He means so much to me. He took
me to Fischoff when I was a sophomore in high school. Damn, small
world! I admire your preserverance in a trying place. I certainly
couldn't handle it. I hope you dont hold that against me. My mom
came over two days ago ironically and we played your cello duets.
She and another cellist featured them in a music festival just a
couple weeks ago. You will be hearing from me in your other e-mail
(voncello@voncello) very soon, I started writing a draft a few hours
ago and then left to eat Thai food.
Thank you so much for your replies,
Meredith
