Early in September, Barbara Lakota, Flute Teacher, traveled through Taiwan and Japan on tour with the World Civic Orchestra. Barbara played principal flute in the familiar Symphony No. 6 by Tchaikovsky (PathĂŠtique); however, the best part of the trip was watching her son, 26-year-old son, David Thomashower '04, bond with his 25-year-old step-sister, Kate, both of whom accompanied Barbara on the tour and explored countless temples, mineral springs, and dumpling stands together during the stretches of time that Barbara was in rehearsals.
