ONE OF THE FOCUSES OF MY RESEARCH AT THE UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND, 1980-82, UNDER THE DIRECTION OF DR. ROBERT J. SONSTROEM, RETIRED ('JUST PUBLISHED HIS 1ST NOVEL @ 79 - 'DIAMOND REWARDS-A TALE OF THE LITTLE LEAGUES, 2/08 AN ABSOLUTE "NEED TO READ" @ $14.95 ON AMAZON.COM) WAS ON "POSITIVE HIGHS". WHEN I LEFT THE AIR SHOW LAST SUMMER, 2007, & ANSWERED MY CELL, MY BEST FRIEND ASKED ME TO MEET HIM @ OUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT - VERY LOCAL. I WAS SO "POSITIVELY"HIGH, I COULDN'T EVEN LISTEN TO HIM TRYING TO LOVINGLY LET ME KNOW THAT THE ELDERLY COUPLE EATING @ THE BAR NEXT TO US WANTED A LITTLE LESS "HIGHNESS :)" FROM ME, AS DID MY FRIEND! I HAD MET THE PILOTS EACH YEAR, WNEN I WAS TEACHING IN THE DEVELOPMENTALLY-DISABLED UNIT (DDU) UNDER DR. KEVIN MYERS, DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION & DR. ROLAND BARRETT, DIRECTOR OF DDU @ BRADLEY HOSPITAL (A BROWN-UNIVERSITY AFFILIATED PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN & THEIR FAMILIES) & CHIEF OF PSYCHIATRY @ BROWN, BUT HAD NEVER GOTTEN TO THE SHOW. OOOOOH MYYYYY WORD! AS THE BLUE ANGEL PILOTS "GAVE ME A HAIR TRIM" WHILE THEY DID THEIR TRICKS, I COULDN'T SNAP PICTURES FAST ENOUGH, NEVER MIND GETTING THEM INTO THE SQUARE! A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO I PUT MY PICTURES IN PLASTIC. MY FAVORITE ONE IS OF THE U-SHAPED CLOUD THAT ONE OF THEM LEFT. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF A PLANE, ALTHOUGH THERE IS ONE THERE. THERE'S JUST A PERFECTLY-SHAPED "U" OF WHITE CLOUD ON A SKY OF BLUE. MY FRIEND'S QUOTE ON THIS PICTURE (HE HAD A CLASS IN HIGH SCHOOL ON PHOTOGRAPY) - "YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE ANYTHING!" :) NOW I KNOW WHY WE APPRECIATE EACHOTHER - HE KNOWS HOW TO LET ME KNOW WHEN SOMEONE NEEDS TO BUY ME A BETTER CAMERA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
