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.

Hudson River Watch: Sailing Forward!

TishTrek's Hudson River Watch! Recently, I started making it my business to look up and out the window between recruiting efforts... From the 36th floor, today I see gorgeous gaff-rigged sails straight ahead and it is inspiring. I love this view! This weekend is America’s oldest regatta, the NYYC's 158th Annual in Newport, RI. Biggest ever with 133 boats entered & 104 boats signed up for the optional and separately scored 19-mile Around the (Conanicut) Island Race! Since 1845, the tradition of our Annual Regatta - first hosted in Hoboken, N.J.- was interrupted only by war. A century & a half later: It's still "good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end,"(Quote by U.K. Leguin). Best regards, TishTrek
