keep the emails coming
Hilary, Good to hear about your numerous activities. Your time is filled with interesting activities. You are one busy lady!!! What you didn't mention is your social life. Is Tom Mr. Wonderful these days?? Any chance that you'll be in Chicago as you move from place to place? Keep me in the loop. Nothing much new here. My pleasure at the moment is in what my grandchildren are doing, ie: grad school at the U of Michigan (Peter) and Teach America (Leslie) and studying electrical engineering (Ariel) at the Hebrew Univ. The world is their oyster. Stay well and happy. Best, Betty

I am in oakland too
Hi Hillary, lives can take so many paths. I am in Oakland, exchanging my property in Georgetown for a property in California. I leave for Wash.d.c. on Oct 18th. I am unable to return to France as I have some problems with walking and climbing. Will go to Buenos Aires for medical tourism. Phone number 415 310 4834

Thanks for the news Hilary...busy busy busy as usual, but you are right to take advantage of retirement! Sorry to have missed you when you were in Paris - we were working on our house extention, which has been almost finished for 2 months now (can you hear my teeth grinding?!) but we have a beautiful new bathroom which (almost) makes up for no vacation this year... bises, Martha

reply from a uufp friend
You are indeed very busy Hilary. I am sure you are enjoying life to the fullest. Your granddaughter looks wonderful. Perhaps a future member of the fellowship? :-) We are all gearing up for the retreat in Alsace at the end of the month. It should be great: we have nearly 140 people signed up. My father died in July at nearly 91 but it was fairly quick and painless. Now sadly our best friend has been diagnosed with terminal cancer in London. And I am starting to have signs of age-related weaknesses. Lucky to have Claire to rescue me when I need it. Hugs, Peter
