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.

Tech Mecca Bell Works in Holmdel NJ where #ExcellenceAlwaysMatters

Fall 2017, my “Crazy Fast Nephew” who I recently wrote about won the NJ Meet of Champions (3200) in the bucolic setting of Holmdel Park in Monmouth County NJ. It was an exhilarating experience to watch this HS junior scale that final hill on his way to a finish line he had worked for & run towards since middle school.

As I exited this park doing my "Happy Aunt Dance," I simply could not believe the panoramic view that was straight ahead.  OMGosh - There SHE was!  Staring back at me was the site of the old Bell Labs Complex built in 1962 – where pioneers and champions in Research & Scientific Development delivered monumental technological innovations of the 20th Century! 

Recently, men & women used their imagination & great skills to redevelop this historic site into an amazing workplace for the future called BELL WORKS.  This massive and remarkable effort was the brain-child of Ralph Zucker and it is a glorious gift to NJ!  You must go see it! Check out the iconic open-atrium where only the sky is the limit.  A 21st Century “Meet of Champions” driven by innovation, technology, possibilities & inspiration are positioned to exceed expectations again!  I had the best Saturday.   #BellWorks where #ExcellenceAlwaysMatters
