I actually met Art Bartner long ago. He is a family friend of the parents of one of my best friends from high school, and he and I happened to both be at my friend's house during the summer after my freshman year at Stanford. I was introduced to him like this: "This is our daughter's friend, Hank. He goes to Stanford." The first thing he said to me -- even though it was almost 25 years ago, I still remember it well -- was, "For such a fine university, it's a shame their band is the way it is." My response: "You could say the same thing in reverse about USC." I was 18.
Please clear the field! The game is not over!
