Eileen and I went to Albuquerque, NM, this past weekend to see Sara Rivera's Sumphonia: BFA Honors Thesis Exhibition. Sara was one of Eileen's fiddle students when we lived in Albuquerque, NM. She is headed to Boston University on a free ride for her MFA, working with Robert Pinskey, one time Poet Laureate of the U.S., who called her to make this offer of a fully paid Master's degree at BU. Nice. Sara heads off to Boston in August for her one year there and then BU will pay her for three months to go anywhere in the world to do some of her art/poetry...she wants to go to Ireland!
