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).
Hence my confusion re where her parents were born....she played the same kind of game with that info, in a column or two.
