Dear All,
What a wonderful conference! The level of the presentations and the
atmosphere were delightful.
I take off my hat to the ETAI committee for putting together a top
line international conference under very trying conditions. Let us not
forget that they are volunteers, dedicating themselves selflessly to
the task. Most of my dealings were with Valerie and Susan who I would
like to mention in particular. Marna, thanks for being so patient and
hard-working. As for Lior, head of the red T-shirted boys, it was a
pleasure to work with him. Always efficient, well-organized, pleasant
and smiling, I think he has a great future ahead of him.
But I must say a special thank you to our out-going chairperson, Penny
Ur. We are all aware of her talents as a teacher, teacher-trainer,
presenter, writer, diplomat and mensch. As ECB representative at
Cambridge University Press events abroad, I have always been concerned
about attitudes towards Israel. When my colleagues abroad hear where I
am from, the reaction is "you're from Israel? Do you know Penny Ur?"
When I answer in the affirmative, they ask me if I think she would
come and present in the country they represent. So I'd like to add
ambassador to my list of her merits. Thanks Penny!
Here's wishing good luck to Mitzi in her new role as chair.
Gay
