=Leahn J. Halprin, a farmer and philosopher, was
my father. He ran the M.A. Halprin Ranch in Yuba City, California, until his
death in 1976. His brother, Elm Halprin, was killed in
World War II. Saralee Halprin, a concert pianist, is my
mother. She was the pianist of the Cleveland Orchestra and
soloed at the Hollywood Bowl. She teamed with cellist Harold Schneir and played four
hand piano works with pianist Sidney Stafford for many
years. Currently, she plays chamber music and teaches for Brandis
University. She is one of eleven brothers and sisters. Her
oldest brother, now deceased, was Raphael Konigsberg.
