Happy Chanuka to FHC

I have not posted in quite some time due to technical difficulties and being overwhelmed with things on my plate.

Let me wish everyone a Happy Chanuka and a wonderful secular new year.

I am hopeful that the best is yet to come....

Shalom. Jeremy

SPECIAL PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON BLOG ENTRY

I have been asked to post some pictures of our family's special visit with President Bill Clinton. While these pictures have next to nothing to do with FHC, I do have a nexus with FHC to discuss. On July 1, 2008 our family met President Bill Clinton at his office in Harlem which fulfilled Noah's make a wish request to the Make a Wish Foundation. At the meeting we brought to President Clinton some presents. My lovely wife brought President Clinton baseball caps for the TS Alliance (which is the organization doing research to cure Noah's disease), and a baseball cap from the Make a Wish Foundation. Our family also brought him a personalized Buffalo Bills cap.

Having read several books about President Clinton and Senator Hillary Clinton, I was aware of their affinity for Eleanor Roosevelt. As some of you may be aware, back in the 1950's Eleanor Roosevelt spoke at FHC downtown and gave a private speech/lecture about world affairs at that time. Someone with great foresight recorded her speech and during our recent cleanup of FHC, several copies of the recorded speech were found. I made President Clinton and Senator Clinton a copy and at our meeting told President Clinton about FHC and that special private speech given by Eleanor Roosevelt. As Masoud was able to get the FHC Uptown 1957 event on You Tube, I would like to be able to get the Eleanor Roosevelt speech accessible to FHC. If anyone has any ideas (possibly a You Tube audio posting with pictures of Eleanor Rooevelt) let me know.

If anyone knows the date and/or year the speech was made, let me know. If anyone knows who recorded the speech let me know.

Anyway, the visit with President Clinton was, as Mastercard would say, "Priceless".

Shalom to all and have a great July 4th Weekend. Jeremy
