Subject: RE: Home From: "Meyer, Klemens" Date: Sun, 15 Jun 2014 22:09:39 -0400 To: "Ernst Meyer" I remember that there was one email from my cell phone on which I pressed send before writing anything; that must have been it. Leah's and the family's final BYSO concert was this afternoon in Sanders Theater. Four seniors received awards: two to students planning to study, two to students not planning to study music. She, like Nathaniel, received one of the awards to someone not planning to study music. The Repertory orchestra played Shostakovich's 5th Symphony, which he wrote at the height of the Great Terror, after Stalin had written an anonymous denunciation in Pravda of his opera Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District. It is the work of someone who was living with a small suitcase packed, not sleeping because he was expecting every night to be arrested. The Senior orchestra played the Overture to Tannhäuser and Strauss's Tod und Verklärung. I propose that I fly to Charlotte either in the afternoon of Monday July 21 or on the morning of Tuesday July 22, and drive back with you. I will be on vacation then. Leah's concert in Tanglewood is Thursday July 24, in Boone Saturday July 26, in Wyoming Wednesday July 30. Nancy Johnson's memorial service is Saturday August 2 in Keeseville, NY. I can drive from Charlotte to Boston with you on July 22 and 23, making me feel that I am doing something for you, and then accompany Laura and Nathaniel on their concert trip. I will be back in Boston no later than Sunday August 3, and can either accompany you to the hearing on Wednesday August 6 or stay with Mommy. I have no doubt that you can find your way to Boston, as you put it in another email, but as I said when I was in Konnarock, I think that it's marginally safer for me to help you with the driving. I would like to do it. (That is underlined because it is the truth, and printed in bold as well, something that one couldn't do in the 1970s.) I regret not being able to spend time in Konnarock again, but it doesn't make sense in the context of the approaching hearing. If you wanted me to help you come back earlier, I could come June 27-29, or July 4-6. In either case, I would have to be back on Monday. Benjamin decided that he didn't want to be a solar panel salesman this summer. He will be working at a counselor at Camp Moosilauke in August, but for the month of July, he will be in Belmont, doing odd jobs as he can find them. I don't think that he is interested in spending time in Konnarock, but I could always dispatch him as a driver. Nathaniel leaves this Thursday for Bulgaria and Estonia. Leah leaves July 5 for her orchestra. I was given Thomas Piketty's Capital in the 21st Century as a Father's Day present, a gift which is adequate antidote to the toxicity of the holiday. I attach Nathaniel's accompanying cartoon. Laura reports that he was completely absorbed for the 60-90 minutes it took him to draw it.

With us, little has changed. Mommy is fading, and sometimes I ask myself, whether I should accelerate the date of our return so as to preserve my ability to get her into and out of the car. I will proceed as way opens. I've finished my preparations for the Hearing. My expectation is that the Board will back down and NOT require the destruction of the plumbing, and that I will accept whatever repairs they demand, even if the Board doesn't play by the Appeals Courts rules which preclude all repairs, given the reckless condemnation order and the blandness of the photos submitted to justify capital punishment. If possible I'd like to get the wiring inspected soon after the Hearing. This will require two day trips to Nantucket, on which I am considering taking Mommy along, since she becomes very anxious when I'm out of her sight, even if only in the next room. We'll have to discuss this. As of now, I'm planning to leave her July 23, unless you have different plans. Good night.
