Happy 87th Birthday, Bea Harris Caplan!

Congratulations to Bea Caplan on her 87th birthday (April 18, 2007). Her son and daughter, Andrew and Barbara, sent the following on April 19th:

Thank you, on Mum's behalf, for your birthday good wishes (she doesn't have email now and wasn't that keen on it when she did have it). I spoke to her yesterday and she is as happy s she can be, given the circumstances and has settled in well to her new home at The Beatitudes in Phoenix. She has a wide circle of friends that keep up their contact with her, and has the dear support of Sandy and Larry Slagel for which she cannot adequately express her gratitude. She attends the local shul to say Kaddish weekly and attended four seders over the Passover! She has turned into something of a gambler in her senior years, playing her beloved MahJong again and having taken up poker -- "Texas Holdem" I think she said. She can't bear the news on the television but watches her cop shows (CSI - the New York one of course) but mainly spends her quiet time - as ever - reading. She would like to send all the extended family her love and best wishes.
Love
Andrew and Barbara

It's like walking in an alley at night without light; getting the hang of this new method of diary entry for historical memoranda. In the family web site Berman-Lubin-Mishpocha.net I envisioned an effort to preserve some of our family history. It is going much slower than I thought; there are so many technical obstacles that we need to overcome i.e. the 1989 video, the publishing of the charts as a whole, just to name two.
