Off to Shustek center in Milpitas to do cataloging. This was a sad day, because Gretta, the curator I’ve worked under for going on a decade, has decided to move, and won’t be at the Museum after this month. Gretta is attractive, smart, and an excellent manager, skillfully keeping her crew of retired computer nerds working productively. I’ll miss her very much.
What’s kind of interesting is where she’s moving: to Vashon Island. Her husband is taking a full time job running a youth camp on Vashon. Rent-free use of a small house is included in the deal. Plus her mother and other relatives are nearby. So it’s great for her, but a loss for CHM.
What I was working on today was cataloging a Fairlight music synthesizer from 1982. What a monster; the keyboard alone weighs 40 pounds.
In the evening, we had a concert by a jazz trio in the auditorium. Good singer, top-notch pianist. Singer was good, indeed excellent for a pediatric doctor which she is in her day job, and the pianist and bassist were really good by any standard.
