“The headline above refers to the fact that Patty and I are once again living in Cooperstown, New York. The first time was for graduate school, where we first met; the second time was during the 1980s and 1990s, when I was working for The Farmers’ Museum, Fenimore Art Museum, and Cooperstown Graduate Program; and most recently we landed here in 2018. During the early 2000s we lived in Newport, Rhode Island, where I was in charge of the museums of the Newport Restoration Foundation, retiring in 2015. Newport was a delightful place to live, but as often happens with islands, the various costs of living tend to rise to an alarming degree. Hence, back to upstate New York. Our older son is a professor at Vanderbilt University, and our younger son worked at Deep Springs College, where he worked his way up to the position of Vice President. Through no effort on our part, he and his family moved here three years ago, after he had secured a position as Director of Operations for The Clark Foundation. I keep busy with a couple of low-pressure volunteer tasks in our village, and the occasional pro bono consultation for museums. I have maintained a lifelong interest in sportscars and racing (the latter, only as a spectator) in such venues as Lime Rock and Watkins Glen; some say, ‘It is never too late to have a happy childhood!'” – Bruce MacLeish ’65
