Who is the most interesting person you’ve met here?
I’ve met an incredible amount of interesting people here, especially through music and yoga. I’d say one of the most interesting people I met and got to know was Dr. Mary Boyle. She was the director of the music therapy program at SUNY New Paltz, and, very sadly, passed away last year after a long battle with breast cancer. Mary was one of the very first people I met when I came to live in this area. Her encouragement and support sealed my decision to study music therapy here. She was a great teacher, mentor and source of inspiration to me. Dr. Boyle was truly passionate and dedicated to her life’s work. I will always remember her fondly.
