HUNGRY GERALD

One of the many joys of summering at HG/BSK’s Prince Edward Island oceanfront home is the presence of Toby,The Wonder Dog and Pip, the gentle and intelligent female dog. These charming and amusing companions are with us because Gifted Daughter Lesley R. and her husband, Massimo are in Italy. Massimo is a tenured Professor at Brown U., an author, a pioneer in making Italian culture available on the internet. He is also a film authority and is currently leading a cinema festival in Bologna. Besides having Padua joy, Lesley works much of the day long distance for her demanding communications executive position in Rhode Island. Toby and Pip live with L .& M. during the non-Summer months at L. & M.’s Riverside, RI, home. It is difficult for BSK (BSK/HG live in a spacious Central Falls, RI.,loft) to meet the needs of old HG–95 in November, hopefully–and take care of dogs. So, Toby and Pip are getting much attention, excellent food and many beach acres in which to roam. Only one problem–Pip won’t allow BSK to brush her teeth. That will have to wait until Pip meets Lesley at HG/BSK’s giant family reunion in late July and continuing through the full month of August. Much merriment and feasting is anticipated.
