Cynthia Kaneshiro Honolulu, Hawaii
	Dr. Keppel invited me to a March 2002 Honolulu Symphony concert. During intermission, as usual, we made our way outside where she talked with friends and university colleagues. Afterwards, we made our way back into the concert hall and to our seats. While the performers were warming up, I was feeling feisty and ignored because Ann was working the Sunday New York Times crossword puzzle. I turned to her and said, "What are those big ukuleles for?" and pointed in the general direction of the double basses. She came right back at me. She looked at the stage and said, "Perhaps you should ask the male cello players what are those things that they scratch at between their legs." Cynthia Kaneshiro <ckaleo@yahoo.com>
