I was once asked by another hiker if I had any friends who didn't go to Camp Fernwood since anyone I visited along the way was always a Fernwood person.
New Orleans was no different.
Emily Morrison was in town with Kim Frankel for a couple of days volunteering for Habitat . Let's do lunch!!
Becky Steingut lives here now having fled New York and now works for a charter school. Let's do lunch!! (We did breakfast instead).
Miss Toni. Can any Fernwoodite dare to think of New Orleans without thinking of Miss Toni? Let's do lunch!! We not only had a wonderful lunch together at Cafe Atchafalaya, she took me all around New Orleans and even across Lake Pontchartrain to where she teaches in Covington.
Tim and Jane. OK. Not Fernwood people. At least I've got some friends on the outside. Jane was here for an economics conference and Tim and baby Theo came along for the ride. Theo loved the lights and the action. The place Miss Toni recommended wasn't open so we ended up having dinner in a Mexican place downtown.
