Amongst Very Good Friends, In Honor of Ardsley High School, 1989

for Benjamin Liu, Princeton, NJ, Master Web Designer and Aesthete, Psychologist
John T. Choi, applied mathematical genius/computer scientist, Cape Elizabeth, ME
Matt Rotando, leading German/Italian/Spanish American Dharma Poet, LI, NY.
Dan Glusker and Laurie Mink, Co-Presidents of AHS, 89' Alumni, New Rochelle, and Hartsdale, NY.

Ben, gaze at the wind stars, which move above the scrolls of Li Po, the Father of Tang Chinese Romanticism. Its Nature Poetry became so sensual and erotic verges on the suicidal mania of beauty.
Your Beloved Father, a foremost blacklisted novelist of Sun Yat Sen, General Chang Kai Shek loyalist loaned me his 3 of Jean Genet's MAGNUM OPUS NOVELS.
You are a greater prose stylist than myself, and master minimalist Oriental humanist psychologist and photographer, and the exquisite Web Designer.
We founded the Asian Club, and opened all office to any race, gender, and nationality. Two years ago we had a Jewish President.
John, you are everthing a philosphical applied mathematical logician, and Naval Officer, and comptuer programmer can be overpowered by your Kogyreo Lineage.
Mattie, your poetry moves the willow lotus-bodhi trees of Sri Lanka, and they are ever still by your Italian/Spanish lyricism of prajnaparamita body of silence. CHIMOKU!
Laurie, you are ever so beautiful and a lady of grace of hospitality and such great sincerity. MAKKOTO, and welcomed me to Ardsley with Laurie Curry, William Straus, Lee Horowitz, and Jeremy Gardos.

Papa Glusker, with your children, a distinguished banker-lawyer remains forever our Class President.

Ubi Caritas, et SHALOM!

--Richard S.Y. Kim
