I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see. The longer I live the more my mind dwells upon the beauty and the wonder of the world.

Party at Gayle Hilbert's March 2012 Class members in pix: Lewis Leader, Carl Lieberman, Gina Blomenfeld, Andy Gach, Dave Meyer, Arnold Steinberg, Bruce Benjamin, Rosalie Wayne, Gayle Hilbert, Ben Pomerantz, Penny Hunt At the party, but not pictured: Cathy Rauch, Andi Graham, Maureen Barclift, Peter Rashkin Plus some spouses, a couple of mothers, and some friends from other years and schools I'm sure I'm forgetting some. Sorry!

STOP ME IF YOU'VE HEARD THIS ONE: Lew Leader, Andi Graham and Ben Pomerantz walk into a bar...wait a minute, that's not it...Arnold Steinberg, Gina Blomenfeld and Rosalie Wayne walk into a bar.... no, that's not right...

Lew Leader was in town and a bunch of his old friends got together at Gayle's. Yeah, that's it! And boy, was that ever fun.

Guess what how many years it's been since we were all at JB. Did you guess 50?!? Isn't that something?

So what do you think? Isn't it time for another reunion? How about something this fall? Maybe a weekend in late October or early November? Maybe it doesn't have to be at a fancy hotel Maybe we can do something creative. I'd like to see a big get-together for a meal (prefereably potluck, but we'll see), and a selection of other weekend events in the old 'hood (Canter's, LACMA, observatory, neighborhood walks...).

Let's put our heads together and come up with something.

(While we're still young.)
