Some thoughts

As most of you are probably aware, I am currently the President of FHC. I receive advice and opinions from all corners. I have tried and will continue to try to have a balanced approach to various issues. One of those issues was my use of the blog. The vast majority of individuals I have spoken to and those who have e-mailed me have requested that I continue to utilize the blog as a forum for information, pictures and yes, commentary.

One person in particular pleaded with me to continue since she has moved away and it is a way for her to keep in touch with FHC issues and things.

In light of the requests that I have received, I will continue the blog entries, with a reduced emphasis on commmentary and a greater emphasis on information and (if I can figure out the revisions made by blogspot), more pictures. I will, from time to time, provide commentary since I compare this blog to a radio or TV talk by an elected official. It is another example of the bully pulpit in action. The primary emphasis, for the time being, will be information.

As most of you are also aware, our family has had a recent loss and at the same time we have been very busy with FHC matters. Obviously, the blog has taken a back seat. Let me take this opportunity to thank the FHC family for being so supportive at our time of loss.

Finally, I'd like to end this blog entry with some great news. I was advised by the Chair of the 50th anniversary jubilee committee that we have no less than 100 guests coming to the 10-21-07 jubilee. And we will welcome many many more. In addition, I have been further advised that the Journal is going to be a great fundraiser with many ad pages. I truly look forward to this event and it is because of the incredible dedication of the people who have and continue to work hard to make this event a reality.

Shalom.
