Dear Friends,
This is a story about finding inspiration in unlikely places. The story is told by Jeffrey Sherman, the son of Robert
Sherman, one half of the Sherman Brothers, the songwriting duo behind many of Walt Disney’s classic films. At
StoryCorps, Jeffrey told his wife Wendy about how getting a vaccine as a child sparked the creation of one of
the most famous songs in the American canon. Enjoy!
Holly
A Spoon Full of Sugar
My dad always filtered everything down to its simplest form. People thought maybe he wasn’t listening, but he
would always listen. And then he would form his words very carefully. Words were like his religion. He brought
Word Builders on my mom and dad’s honeymoon, my mom complained. He wanted to just know words and he
loved the sound of words and how they felt on your tongue.
My dad and uncle had a favorite song that they had created for Mary Poppins called “The Eyes of Love.” But Walt
Disney said, “Could you write something that’s more in line with the philosophy of Mary Poppins?” and it was all
just falling flat. They were both really depressed.
Well, it happened that that day I was at school, I was about six years old, and they were giving us the oral polio
vaccine. You know, it wasn’t the shot. So I, you know, stood in line with all my friends and we all just took this
thing. And then I got home and my dad looked depressed. And all the shades were closed, it was very dark in the
house.
And I said, “Oh, we had the polio vaccine at school today.” And he looked at me, he goes, “You let someone give
you a shot at school? Did it hurt?” And I said, “No, no, no. They took out this little cup and put a sugar cube in it
and then dropped the medicine and you just ate it.” And my dad looked at me and started shaking his head. And
he went over to the phone and he called Dick and told him that he had something, and the next day they wrote
“a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.”
They had this little recording studio. My uncle usually would play and sometimes my dad would sing backup.
And so they would bring home the songs and I would hear all these songs before anybody else. And he played
Spoonful of Sugar. And he said, thank you for that song.
I think that the love of his family and each of us kids inspired different things all the time for him. It was kind of
like that was his yarn and he could make it into the most beautiful afghan. He could take something mundane like
that and see the magic in it.
To hear more great stories, visit StoryCorps.org. StoryCorps was started in Grand Central Terminal in 2003.
Since then, more than half a million people have recorded their stories.
Please look inside to learn more about our current service and activities.
Thanks for your patience and observance of safe practices as we gradually rebuild our programs.

LEARNING DURING A PANDEMIC
During the current pandemic, students everywhere have been
forced to learn differently.
Imagine the complications with studying music at the college level!
Using video technology, the Wind Ensemble musicians of UMass Dartmouth
were able to collaborate by recording their parts wherever they were located.
If interested in seeing these videos, go to Youtube.com and search UMass Dartmouth Wind Ensemble.
There are 2 short videos that contain each student’s at-home performance edited into a lovely ensemble.
The videos are titled:
1. Cakewalk for Band (Eric Osterling) and 2. Romanesque (James Swearingen). ENJOY!!
If you have access to a computer you can search for free online art & music courses.

Healthy 5 Minute Avocado Toast
To begin, simply toast your bread; You can use any kind
of toast or sliced bread you have but I like to use crusty
bread or whole grain toast. Next, mash an avocado in a
small bowl with a fork. Add cilantro, lime, and salt +
pepper then spread the mixture on the toasted slice of
bread. If you’re having it for breakfast go ahead and top
the avocado with an egg cooked any way you like. Our
favorite is a sunny side up but poached, scrambled or
even hard-boiled also works well. Enjoy!

Crafting– with Kathleen
Be Quill My Heart!
“Roll the paper, stick and shape it. After that roll another paper strip, stick
and shape it. Do that again and again! These are three simple steps which
define the technique named quilling.”
― Alberta Neal, Quilling Basics
The art of quilling is thought to have originated in Ancient Egypt. French
and Italian nuns in the 16th and 17th centuries produced beautiful quill
work, and ladies of leisure practiced the art form in the 17th and 18th
centuries. Currently quilling is enjoying a modern revival.
We all have a lot of “leisure” time on our hands this year.
Why not take that time to create a beautiful wall hanging.
This is a very easy technique that can produce a piece as beautifully simple
or elegantly ornate as you would like.
Kathleen will provide instruction and EVERYTHING you need.

OUTREACH NOTES:
Dr. Randy Kamen, A psychologist, author and educator writes
about forgiveness in an article in the Huffpost. He states that
“Forgiveness transforms anger and hurt into healing and peace.
Forgiveness can help you overcome feelings of depression,
anxiety, and rage, as well as personal and relational conflicts”.
The article then goes on to state that “Forgiveness means giving
up the suffering of the past and being willing to forge ahead with far greater
potential for inner freedom”. So in these difficult and challenging times, let’s give ourselves
permission to forgive. Forgive ourselves or others that have caused us pain. Be kind to
yourself as well as others. It’s the first step to inner peace and freedom.
Something we all could use a little of in these unsettling times.ZOOM TUTORIALS BY ZOOM
