sir,
I don’t have time for the website GNYTA.org, who can describe it and Schenkman’s role in it. When you are examining brain operation, you need to ask who graduated from Stanford or MIT and had one desire in life, to STICK to the taxi business like GLUE? A perfect job for someone whose formal education after high school (was there high school) was attended Berkeley School of Music.
If cabbies are the bottom of the barrel, what do you call people assigned to watch the bottom of the barrel?
Ooops, I just saw another re-run on the appointments of Mr. Schenkman. Again I see his formal education is attended Berkeley School of Music.
