did you ever write about growing up in SoHo? Did you know other SoHo kids such as the Tierneys @ Wooster & Prince? to which schools did you go? Know Raimonda Modiano?

I actually grew up on E 23rd St, but certainly went to Soho with my parents all the time. I haven’t written directly about that but am in the process of writing about Merce Cunningham and taking classes at his studio in the 1970s. Yes–Raimonda! A treasured colleague whom I haven’t seen since her retirement.
