Enjoy the following:
Dear Eemah,
Glad to hear about the new community camp possibility. I know Todd has been
putting his entire heart into this project. Looking forward to being in San
Diego during Chanuka and to hopefully getting together with my good friend
Steve Kantor whom I haven't seen in over 17 years! Will you be in town on
Chanuka?
All the best,
Yair (Ross) Kobernick
Hello Eemah! -
I love getting your emails. Wondeful to read of all of your "children" from all corners of the earth.
Sending you my love -
Shawn (Goodman)
Hi Eemah:
My wife (Lynn) and kids (Alexa, Amanda and Michael who are 8, 6 and 4 years
old) are all doing well.
Thanks for your email updates. It's nice that you do such a great job of
staying in touch with so many people, and help them to stay in touch.
Best regards,
Rick

Hi Eemah,
What a nice surprise to hear from you. Things are going exceptionally well in my life as of just a few short months ago...I am in love and it's magical. Work...well, I am in the pharmaceutical business so I can't complain but when it comes down to it...it's just a good job. I am taking the Fundraising Certificate Program at UCSD which is exciting. Hopefully I'll find a place for myself in the philanthropic world sometime soon.
Love,
Mimi (Allen)
Hi,
Fortunately, no fire damage here. We were evacuated early Sunday morning & went to Chez Rosenberg's for the duration (boys only stayed overnight, I stayed 2 nights). (We finally had to tell Tris & our daughter Jennie to stop calling, so we could finish grabbing a few items!) We had closed the house up tight early in the morning because of Ryan's asthma, so there was hardly any smell upon return. Now, just having to dust & vacuum a little more.
Sorry this is so short, but I'm trying to cover all bases before leaving for the honors bestowed upon my dad in Washington DC.
Hope to all is well with your family...& hope to see you soon.
love,
anne (Rosenberg)
Hi Eemah,
Please include me on the list! An update on us: Andy
and I gave birth to our first baby on September 11th,
2003. Sara Rose Snyder. She was 6 14 ounces and was
born at Lenox Hill Hospital in NYC. I am on maternity
leave until the spring, but am working at the New York
City Investment Fund, a Social Venture Capital Fund.
Andy just left his job at Goldman Sachs (investment
bank) where he was for 8 years to work in his family's publishing business. We also just moved from Gramercy to the Upper West Side where it is more kid friendly and we could be near the park. Three huge life changes in just months!!
Hope all is well with you and let me know if you need
any other bio info!
Love,
Molly (Goldstone)
Hi Helene,
What a surprise to hear from you!! I had to contact Steve to see if the e-mail was legit before I opened it! How can Daniel be 33! I guess it's possible since I'm 10 years older than him. I know he could walk right by me and I wouldn't even know it!
It was funny to see your subject in the e-mail. I don't remember much Hebrew anymore (sorry - not your fault!), but I sing that song all the time!
You probably know that I am in Vermont (Howard Dean territory to be exact). I've lived here for 11 years and have been on the East Coast since 1986. I've been married for 13 years and have 3 boisterous children, aged 10, 7 and 5. I haven't been working since my oldest turned 2 as my hands are quite full raising them! My husband works in wind power development and travels often, making the idea of my working nearly impossible.
I volunteer in the children's classrooms a lot and run the van's tires bald getting them all over the place!
We love the seasons out here and spend a lot of time outdoors. We camp in the summer and visit our numerous lakes. We spend the winter skiing (my 10 year old rides) as we live just 20 minutes from a good sized family ski resort and 45 minutes from the famous, family oriented Smuggler's Notch.
Vermont is a wonderful place to raise a family- very down to earth and low stress! I miss the ocean terribly, but other than that have enjoyed no longer being in a large city.
This is a nice network you've put together. Amazing how big it is!
Do you still live across the street from the Hodges?
Well, I've got to run; all of the little monkeys just woke up!
Take Care,
Sue Peters (Greenfield)

Emah,
Hello from Iraq! Im serving as an Infantry platoon leader in the 82nd airborne division. I was recently promoted to 1st lieutenant and can't tell you how pleased i am that the weather is finally cooling off. It got up to about 138 in the summer, in the shade! so a change of weather is most plesant. Please tell me about the new temple, i haven't seen it since i got commissioned but would love to stop by when i get back from the desert. thanks so much,
