DR. GRUDENS, at last

Today, May 25, the Five Towns Music College conferred the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters upon Richard Grudens attested to by the Trustees of the College, its Chairman,President and Provost and Dean. So it's Dr. Grudens from now on.  Hey that's me! So, if it wasn't for those hundreds of interviews, fourteen books and myriads of magazine articles, this event today would never have happened. My wonderful wife, Madeline, was there to cheer me on and snap a few photos. This was a day of days. Without Madeline's fine editing and formatting, and books cover designs, those books would probably have remained unpublished. It's true that you can tell a book by its cover. So I thank Five Towns College President Stanley G. Cohen for his generosity and belief in my works. Hopefully those students who read them will be enriched by their content. 5
