: I was wondering who remembers the wonderful Mr. Newton, the 7th grade Glee Club teacher who "prepped" us for Miss Olanoff? He was a great pianist, a genuinely nice guy, with impeccable musical taste. I remember being up on the bleachers in the auditorium with Leslie Kugler, Keith Epstein, and a whole bunch of others, being oh so grateful that Mr. Newton's jazzy piano back-up made us all sound so much better.
Mr. Newton a fine Black man well loved by all. Yes we lived in a multicultural,multiethnic community with no hate and much mutual understanding. I wish the world would take lessons from us.
