CEO Message: September 2019

Hope is such a simple, sweet word. We hear it so often. It conjures up warm feelings, melancholy, certainly some level of anticipation. And yet, as words go, it is tough to define, probably because it means something unique to almost everyone. Expressions prompt us to make it easier: “Just have a little hope.” “Don’t give up hope.” “Hope springs eternal.” But those expressions don’t generally get the job done. We each must define what hope means to us and how we go about capturing this elusive hummingbird in our lives.

CEO Message: February 2019

Bench for Bob, Love Letters, and Legacies Bob was a retired psychoanalyst, a VNP as he used to say (very nice person!), and in his spare time an extraordinary woodworker. He was a deep listener, sometimes a consoler, and for many, his wisdom was a life line. Julia lived until 102. Her final act of love was written in her will to express her gratitude through carefully selected gifts to family,
