8. Standing ovation to Renee Fleming! My late mother was the school nurse...

......at the middle school Renee Fleming attended in Gates-Chili NY, a suburb of Rochester. Fleming attended the world famous Eastman School of Music, also in Rochester, established by philanthropist George Eastman, of Eastman Kodak fame.

My mom followed Fleming's career with great interest, and would be very proud of this principled stand.

Possible 6 degrees of separation story - my mom's raison d'etre in her school nursing career was age appropriate sex education, so it is entirely possible that Ms. Fleming would have heard one of my mom's enlightened "birds and bees" classes while a middle school student.
