Nature's aim for everything includes its cessation just as much as its beginning and its duration

"en attendant Godot": 50 years ago today
Deborah Rosen White: Birthday Congratulations
My niece, born Susan Deborah Rosen, daughter of Roberta Newton Rosen and Paul Peter Rosen, in New York City, is a successful lawyer in Washington DC. In the first picture her great grandmother Rose Handelman Rosen cradles her in her arms in Canterbury, Connecticut, in June 1963, a few months after her birth. The second photo shows the beautiful woman she grew up to be, seated in my library.

Beate B. Caspari-Rosen, Happy Birthday, 97 years
Beate Caspari-Rosen was born in Berlin, Germany, on March 14, 1910 and died in Hamden, Connecticut, USA, on July 8, 1995. She received her medical degree in Berlin and practiced her specialty, ophthamology, in the United States. She ran pediatric ophthamological clinics throughout New York City, providing superb medical care for the poorest citizens in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and the Bronx. She also worked for the Lady Garments' Union in a similar capacity. There, her patients were mature and elderly. By young and old she was admired and respected; she always listened to her patients and to communicate with the young she studied Spanish. Aware of the stigma associated with the "clinic glass frames," she negotiated with optometrists, who at that time provided the eye glasses, so that the children would not be humiliated among their peers. This is but one of numerous instances where her concern for patients effected positive results.
My mother "Atta," as she was known to her family and friends is sorely missed.
