An invitation, travel pics, a puppy, an email, and bells.

Greetings, fellow alumni.

Hope all is well with everyone. I would have posted sooner, but the schedules at The Hill have been most demanding.

First, some old news. For those of you who may have missed the article, our Publisher Emerita, Charlotte Gemmel was mentioned in the New York Times. Click around on the links for her quote. This has Social Studies written all over it. (You'll need to copy and paste links, posted in these updates, into a browser window - not all operating systems will register the hyperlink.)

Also, you may have read about the massive layoffs at MMH, recently mentioned in another Times article (irresponsibly edited.) The layoffs had occurred months prior to the article's appearance, during fiscal year 2007. The employees affected were in marketing, sales and finance, nationwide. The day the story broke was an eerily quiet one on the 21st floor.


And now, on to the updates. Huzzah!

An invitation conceived and designed by Ourania.

"I got a new puppy for Christmas. He’s a 5 mth old Papillon named Poco. Xena, The Warrior Princess standard poodle and he are getting along great! I’ve also been working as an Art Director at Witz End Design since October and doing some pro bono design work for ARF, Animal Rescue Fund located in Easthampton, L.I. I posted my new website this summer, come visit: www.studiosixgraphics.com "

That's all for now. Please feel free to leave comments on the site; job opportunities, kittens for sale, etc. Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you all at the "class reunion," and keep 'em coming. -B.
