Dear Colleagues, Here is a blast from the past and a nice coincidence. We joined a Conservative congregational group here in Seattle which meets monthly for social and educational get-togethers. We'd been with them a while before we met a couple who live in Seattle part time only...the Kurlands. When I told Jon what I had done for a living and remarked that his last name held meaning for me, he verified that he was, indeed, Mildred's son. He was and is delighted to know that she is still remembered by some in our ranks. We've seen the Kurlands many times since then. When recently he said, with much regret, that he had no copy of Mildred's work, I offered HaSafran as a possible solution for him. I hope one or more of you can help and I'm sure someone can benefit from the important books he's also giving away. Best regards from Seattle, Rita Frischer ____________________________________ From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: 8/11/2015 3:52:07 P.M.
