A belated thanks for the birthday wish!...Hey Chip, <br />A belated thanks for the birthday wish! I forget to look at these comments but today we have good internet here in Blacks Harbour New Brunswick, so I'm getting caught up. I've been reading a fabulous biography of Eleanor by Blanche Wiesen Cook. I have loved all 480 pages that I have read so far - only 20 to go to finish the book. This is volume 1 and it ends in 1933 so haven't read about the UN work yet. It was a bd present from Liz and a few weeks later I happened on to volume 2 in a used book store so I can't wait to read more about her..However I never have enough time for reading and both Sonja Sotomayor and Elizabeth Warren - also bd presents...are waiting for me and i might have to put them first. So many choices. Such a good life. thanks for responding to the blog. It's so nice to get feedback. Warmest regards, JannaJanna and Liz with Lilypad https://www.blogger.com/profile/17476547872989933027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2334837371440711060.post-84498581063117458682014-05-01T12:00:35.763-07:002014-05-01T12:00:35.763-07:00Now I *must* go to Zook's Fabric Shop.
Three ...Now I *must* go to Zook's Fabric Shop.<br /><br />Three cheers for the New Deal! And speaking of Eleanor....A few years ago I did Fulbright-supported research on the writing of the Universal Declaration, and wound up reading a lot about her. There were 4 key drafters, and she was not only one of them, but was a continually effective diplomatic conciliator and forward-mover with regard to the other three main drafters, and to the relations between the four of them and the larger committee in charge of creating the UDHR. An amazing person in lots and lots of ways.<br /><br />Happy Birthday Janna!Chiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13605974902260260981noreply@blogger.com
