17th Anniversary of 9-11...

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.

America's Hero: Special Agent Chuck Stern, FBI

An American Flag which flew over the U.S. Capitol, Oklahoma City, Newark, Ventor, Red Bank NJ & @ the top of the new World Trade Center was handed to my incredible cousin Chuck as he retired from law enforcement today. The flag was raised @ every field office he worked from over the last 26 years... Our humble U-of-Penn Wharton Grad managed and solved the '93 World Trade Ctr Bombing Case. He & his FBI team brought Ramzi Yousef & many others to justice. Chuck's high profile work on cases spanning the globe saved countless lives so 130 of us found our way to the Molly Pitcher Inn in Red Bank NJ to honor him & his life's work. As an invited guest & speaker - I had the privilege to say "thank you" to a room full of heroes who live to protect the health, welfare & safety of citizens everywhere. It was awesome! Congratulations Chuck! Your high caliber service to our nation & the world throughout your exceptional career is deeply appreciated. We are humbled by & grateful for your extraordinary service. Best wishes to one of the finest men I have ever known, (and I mean "ever"). Utmost respect & love, TishTrek AKA "Everybody's Cousin Tish" but especially yours today!

    I just found this blog,Please pass my congratulations on to Chuck. My father and his dad were first cousins,and I haven't spoke to him in close to 20 years, and don't know how to get in touch with him. Please tell him I would love to catch up with him. I know very little about my Stern side of the family. Tell him I'm living in Hawaii now. My email is sandghoward@msn.com
