Bev Lowry was faculty in the 90s, and Kyoko Mori was a fellow a while back after her first book came out. Dick Bausch was Dick Bausch there for quite some time, too. <BR/><BR/>Regardless: there are never enough Mason people invading Middlebury as far as I'm concerned. You all should be waiting tables there asap.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08420926867187297354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065181171280909970.post-4287854887372505412008-08-29T14:22:00.000-04:002008-08-29T14:22:00.000-04:00While we're doing Mason shout-outs, I thought I'd ...While we're doing Mason shout-outs, I thought I'd mention that Mason MFA faculty member Susan Shreve (http://www.susanshreve.com/) was on the fiction Bread Loaf faculty for the 2000 conference. I remember hearing that in passing and I double checked it on the internet. I also found that she was a Bread Loaf fellow and on staff (translation: waitress?) in 1974-76.KVKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15076256736448064899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065181171280909970.post-67744797626765817242008-08-29T10:17:00.000-04:002008-08-29T10:17:00.000-04:00Thanks for the shout-out, DH.

I got to wear my awesome MASON MFA Writer to dinner service, where I gave Susan Orlean a refill on her coffee.<BR/><BR/>Here's the small rundown of the thing: <BR/><BR/>http://mikescalise.net/blog/?p=224<BR/><BR/>And here's the issue of the Crumb with my "performance review" (on page 2):<BR/><BR/>http://tinyurl.com/5533kz<BR/><BR/>Also, I should note that former Mason faculty member Matt Bondurant was a two-time waiter, and excellent nonfictioner Casey Wiley studied under David Sheilds there last year. All of this is to say: let's get some more Mason folk there asap.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08420926867187297354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065181171280909970.post-9791022618855784372008-08-28T20:19:00.000-04:002008-08-28T20:19:00.000-04:00In fact, a recent (spring 08) nonfiction MFA grad,...In fact, a recent (spring 08) nonfiction MFA grad, Mike Scalise, was selected as a waiter up there. He posted a few notes as it went along on Twitter http://twitter.com/mikescalise and a sort of summary here http://mikescalise.net/blog/.David Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00929595957300056051noreply@blogger.com
