Mrs. B. I miss you very much. I regret not making a trip to Bronxville earlier. I wish I could hear Mr. Balint's beautiful and touching music one more time. I cannot imagine him not playing in the pit next time I go to the MET. I loved seeing you two play together beautifully. The precious days in Mystic. Having ice cream, playing concerts, enjoying the pool, the boat ride. Thank you for being my American parents. Mr. B, thank you for showing me how to love music. Mrs. B, you are the kind of teacher I dream to be. I am leaving for Japan tomorrow with my two daughters. I am so sorry I cannot make it. My whole family is terribly sadden by the news. I will be back in the fall so I would really love to see you then. With love, Mizuki Yamanaka
