John Goldlust and Joe Grynbaum, Connecticut, January 1, 2008

(Our trip to) New York worked out really well. We stumbled into a fabulous location on the upper east-side  in  a ground floor duplex. A friend from Melbourne (who had lived in NY for two years a few years ago) joined us so we were able to split the rent and it turned out very reasonably - much better and cheaper than any affordable hotel. The weather wasn't too bad either - many sunny days and not too cold - the coldest times we had were on side trips to Toronto (-17), Washington (-10) and Hartford (-5). The last was to visit Joe and Patty Grynbaum for New Year which was great - we got to shovel the driveway as it snowed on New Year's Day - how I've been missing that experience - John Goldlust

Jack and Marlene Katz reunite with Harry after 42+ years - in Denver, Colorado, April 21, 2006

It's hard for women to keep a secret? Yes, according to Marlene who had to do so for 3 weeks until Harry 'dropped in' on Jack. They were in Denver to participate in their daughter's birth of their first child - the third grandchild for J & M. When Harry appeared at the door of their kids' apartment, Jack was beyond words (not typical, may we say). However, by the end of the next day, they were all caught up but promised a more frequent meetings in the future since they didn't think another 42 years was a practicable number.
