I can't believe the whole staff of the fall weekend is superlative. I've gone to a lot of these weekends because the Pinewoods members are interesting & fun, & it is nice to get out of the city. To have the weekend in a hotel with private baths and good food and still cost less than Camp Friedman is GOOD. To have Roustabout, Erica Weiss, and Lisa Null all at the same time is fantastic. This summer after the wonderful picnic hosted by Jean Ritchie and George Pickow, when Lisa Null's name was mentioned, someone who was grumbling about this and that flaw or imperfection, switched to elaborate and enthusiastic praise of Lisa's singing. I've always liked Lisa and her music, but coming from a person who was dissatisfied with almost everything, this was strong praise.
