2009-07-16 Travis Head, Thursday. Travis came for an interview to be an assistant for me and Catherine (Murphy). He was at a residency in Virginia (he is originally from Virginia). Amy Chang who teaches at New Paltz was also at this residency. Erik Schoonebeek had told Amy that he was leaving his job with us and Thomas Nozkowski and Joyce Robins, in case she knew of anyone who might be interested. Travis wrote to Tom and told him that he might be interested in the job. An interview was arranged. Travis first went to Tom and Joyce's and then came to our house. The job would be two days a week at Tom and Joyce's and two days at our house. We are all going to go ahead and hire Travis on a month trial basis. He is going to get a place nearby for a month or so and we will all see how it works out.
