This is a staggering list. As a total amateur and outsider to the
business, I don't know all the names but the ones I DO know include a
few legends of their own: Combs, the Druckers (I've heard rumors that
she's better than HE is!), Neidich (didn't he teach Sharon Kam?)...and
GOODMAN??????? I have talked to Bonnie Sholl a couple of times and she
mentioned that she also studied with Russianoff. I don't know if she's
a legend exactly, except that an awful lot of people in New York know
her as a reputedly very fine teacher.

Is there a way to get back copies of the journal? I suppose I should
see if there's anything on the Klarinet site about it.

Presumably you also studied with him. I don't know how else to ask
this, but what was it like?
