ABSTRACT
May 13, 2004—Lee and Dave Porter, son Tom with his 13-year-old stepson, David Gamliel, are seated in Albert Long Hall on the Bogazici University campus in Istanbul, Turkey. Professor Oya Basak regales the audience with a long, witty introduction of the concert pianist, Stephen Porter. Oya has been a close friend of the Porter family for four decades. Among the audience of Turkish university students are a dozen American friends of the Porters who, by coincidence or by design, are on hand for the concert. It is a moment of supreme joy for this family whose origins are here, at the place once known as Robert College.
