Funny Papers Again Column | One Volunteer’s Thoughts on the Words of GBS

Steve Wilson

Funny Papers Again Column | A Time of Music, Dance and Old Friends

Steve Wilson
The Pops! are coming, the Pops! are coming! In fact, by the time you read this, they may already be in town. I’m talking about the Monterey County Pops! Symphony Orchestra (and those are not typos, the name includes the exclamation point after Pops;...

Window on the World Column: The Lucky Ones

It has been a most interesting year; what an understatement. I have never felt so fortunate and yet so frustrated. I’ve found skills this year I didn’t think I had. I have dug deep for patience I never believed I possessed. Four years ago,...
