You try to look up old friends online -- but unless his name
is something like “Rrfschwnkl Rbbowttzz”, you’re going to get far too many
hits. (Good luck with my name -- some frigging baseball
player messing up the mix.)
So -- here is a ring, cast into the waves, to see what it might bring …
“Parsons College”. "North Carolina".
“Academic Year Abroad”
(AYA). Paris. Geneva. “Dr. Deginger”.
Far too much wine, and cheese fondue. (And standing stock-still, for birds …)
Later: A visit in Berkeley. Linguistics. (I still have our conversation on tape.)

I turned you on to Loomis & Sternberg,
and you turned me on to Glenn Gould.
So, before one of us dies --
Hi there.
[Update 5 Oct 2013] Dear Mr. Rbbowttzz:
It was nice hearing from you. I'm sure you're a very nice person, despite what you wrote.
However, I don't actually know you, don't-you-know. The use of the name "Rbbowtzz" was purely by way of illustration, though I now understand that it is an old and honored surname in your part of the forest.
Ciao.
