We had to google how to stiff egg whites. Needless to say they did not stiffen by 9:30PM so we just folded them into the batter as it, frothy as it were. however the cake was a big success the next day for her project.As I write this Judy Collins is singing, Dark Eyes. Do you know it.

Nice to see the pics!

We are staying at Nancy Goldstein's house on the island. I think that you should come because this will be a once in a lifetime event - you can write about it.
But if you have a terrible time, I don't want to be responsible, so I'm not a very good convincer.
Will they be serving alcoholic beverages? Do I need to diet for this event?

I was in France at age 16 and 19. I remember the eclairs that are filled with chocolate like pudding. Yummmmm.
Getting ready to do the 3 day breast cancer walk in two weeks.
Now I can spice up this email and ask you who you're voting for, but I think I know the answer.

At 8:08am on October 6, 2008, Judy Berk Schancupp said…: Hi Jeff,
Will you be at the reunion next year? Nancy, Barbara, and I are talking about going. We need to convince Kathy that it will be fun. My friend's daughter is Emily Cohen (common name). But I'm sure that there are not too many kids from Atlanta.
Did my girls come back from college with an attitude? I don't think so. They lived far away so they were happy to have a plane ticket home. It's funny having a 25 year old. She is very grown up with a boyfriend who is 29, not little kids anymore.
My middle daughter is living in London and trying to get a visa and work. She has a Lithuanian boyfriend that she is living with. I would like my money back that I spent on her college education. Just kidding. She will return eventually and need that degree to get a job.
I will see her (Jessica) in November. I am going with my mom, sister, niece (age 22) to Paris. My mom is 83 and always wanted to go there. Jessica is meeting me. I will have to remember my French that Madame Berman taught us in elementary school.
Got to get to work!
