You can read me (and Tom) now on the Wall Street Journal‘s website: The Met’s Marathon Man.
Wait a minute! I just got word from the Metropolitan Museum’s PR people that he was born in Singapore, not Cambridge. I guess I shouldn’t have relied on the Met’s press release that announced his appointment (“born and raised in Cambridge, England”).
I usually triple-check everything I’m unsure of (to the great exasperation of museum PR people), On that one, I thought I was safe. Live and learn.
A bit of housekeeping: The “Contact me” link in my middle column is not working at present. In fact, I haven’t gotten any of your messages since last Wednesday. The ArtsJournal techies are working on this glitch, which I hope will be fixed soon.
Maybe Technology Tom (formerly Tapestry Tom) can help!
UPDATE: The Met tells me they’re going to correct their online press release, so by the time you click the above link, it may put his birthplace in Singapore, where it belongs.
