I've listed these requests at Wikipedia:Requested pictures. --Bruce1ee 06:07, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Frith's children[edit]

In the introduction I've replaced "Finn Liss (16, Maybeck High School) and Lucia Liss (13, Park Day School)" with "Finn Liss (b. 1991) and Lucia Liss (b. 1994)" as ages are dynamic, and the schools they attend (which are also dynamic) are not relevant to this article. --Bruce1ee 05:45, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mills College[edit]

The Mills web site says he is Professor Emeritus. Looks like he retired in 2018. ThreeRocks (talk) 00:09, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@ThreeRocks: I've added that Frith is Professor Emeritus of Music at Mills to the "Other projects" section. Thanks for pointing this out. —Bruce1ee^talk 09:11, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
