Bruce’s Autobiography (2021)
Left Staples a year late, went to Mexico for a few months, came back, worked in a bookstore at Columbia University for some years, received a BA in Asian Studies and Chinese language from Columbia, got married, had a daughter, studied in Taiwan, got divorced. Got an MA in the same stuff, taught Chinese for a year at Seton Hall University until I went to work in a private boarding school in Oregon (still there). Got remarried. Have had many functions at the school over the last 40+ years: Dean, Headmaster, Director Admissions, Chinese teacher, lit teacher, Director of Admissions for Asia (last 20 years). Spent months working for the school in Japan, China, Korea and Taiwan. Somewhere along the line, I studied flute with Hubert Laws in NY and sitar at Ravi Shankar's school in L.A. Don't like puzzles. Love chicken feet, fried dumplings & Beijing duck and writing.
