17th Anniversary of 9-11...
On the 17th Anniversary of 9-11, we continue prayers for a path to peace. (Picture above - TishTrek and husband Harry @ the podium inside the United Nations General Assembly Hall in New York City). It was the privilege of a lifetime for us to be with leaders from around the world on a night when honoring excellence in writing and reporting was the common language uniting all of us. As one of the proud sponsors of the Annual U.N. Correspondents' Dinner, we enjoyed honoring excellence in writing and communications by helping to fund scholarships for international university students who had the courage & talent to tackle some of the difficult issues of our time. Through their magnificent words, they successfully created content that helped readers see through the lens of their research & life experiences. These students inspired all of us. I have confidence the next generation will pick up where we leave off.

Tall Ships Exit New York Harbor!

Never be soooo busy that you miss what's in front of you! OMGosh! "Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board."** The last of the Tall Ships are leaving beautiful New York Harbor right now! From bow to stern, I can see three-masted, square-sail carrying ships with U.S. sailors in white standing in formation on the Masts as they salute our nation & bid our city farewell. From the tallest masts located near the center of the ship to the Main-Mast lower, to Main Topmasts; to Main Topgallant Masts; and to those Mizzen-Masts - it's just another glorious day on America's Hudson River! Best regards, TishTrek ** Quote by Zora Neale.
