Setting the Record Straight

Share

Thank you for the attention paid to my book “Memory Slips” through Elizabeth Mehren’s sensitively written piece (“A Survivor’s Voice and the Music of Healing,” Feb. 16). However, there are a few errors.

Although I have performed a dozen times with the Boston Pops Orchestra, I have not had the privilege of performing with the Boston Symphony.

I currently teach at only one Boston institution, the Longy School of Music in Cambridge. (I formerly taught at Northeastern University and the University of Massachusetts at Howell.)

My parents did not cover the cost of my treatment at the National Center for the Treatment of Trauma in Denver. They sent a small check to help with the expense.

When my father told NBC he would appear on “The Today Show” with a specialist from the False Memory Foundation, NBC declined.

In the current climate of discrediting survivors of incest and domestic violence, it is important that what is printed about me and my story be entirely true.
