angelo frenzy and we're here today representing the friends and alumni of belmont high school i have with us today foster wright long time principal twenty five years at belmont high and we have two graduates of the class of  you we are as you know representing the scholarship committee the friends and alumni bellman high school scholarship committee and we're out there trying to raise money and increase our presence in the in the community open yeah i have some favorites i mean lucy mars is definitely she really stands out in my mind and just really saw me as a whole person as i had said earlier and we've kept in touch like when my book came out  two thousand and thirteen she i had a i was doing a talk up in beverly mask something somewhere up there and she came she saw fire for it in town and she came and we get together for lunch maybe where we're just like crazy and it's awesome ended up getting a ph d in music in brain science newsline yeah so understanding how music is processed processed in the brain researching how people learn how they segment minimal minimalist parent which is good not about like living with one chair and it's more one about figuring out whatever your level of craze because in modern parenting there's a lot of crazy and then figuring out how to dial it back several notches so you have more yourself and create things that are stressful is a really an amazing skill skill so but most people don't have it and you're you do help people and so you think you know that's kind of you i mean i think a lot of the journey with with that book and then my co author and i spun off a high caste called at your life which is just more general lifestyle although we also talk about parenting but we found that a big piece of it is giving people the permission to say you can step off this hamster wheel so there is a different way to do it and that's which was wonderful and then toward the end of my time at harvard not to go in like super deep but at the end toward the end of my time at harvard or what i what came to be the end of my harvard my father passed and and  think i found myself sort of thinking about what i had spent my life doing and whether it was what it what i wanted to continue doing when he died sort of thought about his life and knowing that he had spent all of his time doing exactly where it felt like from a child's perspective exactly what he wanted to be so i really thought about that a lot and around the same time my husband and i were sort of buying our st home and i realized how and i sort of i consider what i do working with people who might not normally expect to hire an interior designer or they might think like oh that's like a sort of special thing that i would never do but they need asked permission because i i just feels very important to point out that i think a lot of people when they hear your interior design they think optional kind of fluffy sort of pretty open to rest whatever and i might have been one of those people you know i will say that page came and worked on our place and we lived and or lived in very sort of boring cookie cutter you construction all white and my husband i have very different styles i'm a little more like modern and he's like vermont and i'm like i'm sure like rusty i mean you just very different we couldn't figure out how to get anything together that  value yeah but i'm hoping and willing to bet that both of you are doing that i agree with you i think it's crucial and even now i have these visions in my head of remembering like because i was in the marching band or was in the color guard d i couldn't agree more the parents huge and what piece here and i remember i now have more of an appreciate and remembering the marching band uniform i don't know if you remember this that they were finally converting over and trying to raise  know this is very unusual and my husband does not have that experience and i don't want you know as you i want to jump in here because it's a good segue one of the things that we're thinking about is having a a multi class re late fall probably and we're we have a subcommittee that's kind of working it up but what we'll need to do it some use facebook or whatever other yeah shit together and it'll be mostly for people that are still in the area that want to come i was just the whole principle we're going to cheers together they're going to exactly right but i have to say that these days are they just remarkable women and i think we would like to take a some of the glue that hung it all together was the theater program and the music program and the art program and then a group of teachers that really cared they had a passion for their subject matter but they also cared about whether a testament to your personality i mean i think you know whenever we've crossed paths since then and you have a remarkable giving nature that i think has persisted throughout i mean i remember just a couple years ago a tree came down in my front yard  them you know you're saying the it is so important angelo but and it's true for belmont one of the things i've been thinking about as i've left formal education i do a lot of thinking about how education should be working for us that
