Thanks, Vinnie

True story: In the late '70's I was a subscriber to Scientific American but I let it lapse. One Saturday in '81 I got a phone call from a telemarketer who was a real person with a personality. He was so compelling I bought what he was selling & renewed my subscription to the mag. We talked for a few minutes afterward, when he told me he was a jazz trumpeter, & I told him about my love for the music & my fave players on his instrument. The caller? Steve Bernstein. He was so funny, so real; I will never forget him & that conversation!
