Thanks for the info and link. I was relying on my memory of a few of her past articles, wherein she mentioned some things about her family. I either misremembered, or she fudged some stuff in the past.
Peyser’s bio page is a little ‘fudge-y’ .. i.e., she says she graduated from ‘the State University of New York.” NO ONE ever says they graduated from SUNY, it’s always SUNY-Albany or SUNY-Binghamton or SUNY-New Paltz. There are lots and lots of SUNY campuses, some better than others, especially in different disciplines.
There were a few other things I thought she’d glossed over when I read it (which I’m not going to repeat any time soon).
