Where is Jan? Where is Don Webster?

After graduation, attended Colo. St. College in Greeley through Junior Year, transferred to San Francisco Conservatory of Music in 1964, then on to San Francisco State for degree. I began playing piano for the San Francisco Ballet, and eventually the San Francisco Opera through 1982. I completed 2 years of grad studies at UCBerkeley, but didn't finish. Should do that! I minored in Art as an undergrad, and continue with drawing and painting to the present. Suffered the usual slings and arrows, but managed to survive and sometimes thrive.

The daring and audacious class project that Jan Bartek and I did for our Sr. Biology. We made a transexual chicken, in her cage in the classroom. The whole school watched the hen turn into a rooster. It was done without any psychological therapy, and without the hen's permission. But it was a real hoot.
