Ben Stiegler
Hello Ben! It certainly is remarkable, our parallel lives. I met my wife Carolyn Glaser in the Jewish Singles Hiking Club as well. My children are in a Korean immersion program in a public school in S.F., Claire Lilienthal, which has given me license to indulge in my favorite pastime, learning languages. When my children were in preschool at Beth Sholom I started relearning Hebrew from my childhood. I read an Israeli magazine, Laisha, cover to cover for a year until my Hebrew got good enough to read novels and histories -- a great time. Then I switched to Korean for several years, and now I'm reading mostly in Russian (except for science books which I read in English) -- there's a large Russian population among the users of the JCC I enjoy interacting with, and Russian literature is of course tremendous. Being a librarian is a good match for someone whose interests are all over the map like me. Nothing beats fatherhood, though! I always admired and envied your technical insights and ability. Take care, Sidney
