A MESSAGE FROM IVAN

It was a fun night, a fun book.  It was interesting to see that the majority of the books our group/club picks are related to that WWII era.  Perhaps, because we love to see how ordinary people do extraordinary things when under the yoke of extreme oppression and distress.  I hope that we never see those horrific scenarios in our lives, but if we do, may we be like the heroines and heroes we have been reading about.  If you think about it, all these heroines and heroes were doing was being true friends to those oppressed and less fortunate.  There is a phrase that I heard, supposedly written in some apocryphal book: “A FAITHFUL FRIEND, IS A STRONG DEFENSE”  I believe in the power of friendship and the enrichment that comes from human connections and interactions.

You enrich my life, I’m so glad we have this club, may we continue to turn pages and keep meeting to both share a meal and exchange ideas and important events in our lives.  I’m going to get the next book this week. :)

Best regards,
Ivan
