Γράφει ο διεθνολόγος Αντώνης Γρυπαίος ΑΝΟΙΧΤΗ  ΕΠΙΣΤΟΛΗ ΠΡΟΣ  ΚΥΡΙΑ ΜΕΡΚΕΛ: Σεβαστή Κυρία,                                              Απευθυνόμενος στους λαούς της Ε.Ε. τους λέω. Καμαρώστε κόσμε  Ε.Ε. Χαρείτε Κόσμε Ευρωζώνη. Η ζητιανιά πάει σύννεφο. Οι υπήκοοι της Ευρωζώνης κατάντησαν ζητιάνοι.  Τα συσσίτια και οι ουρές στη μοιρασιά οπωροκηπευτικών στις κεντρικές πλατείες των Αθηνών και άλλων Ελληνικών πόλεων ομιλούν αφ ‘εαυτών και αποδεικνύουν  την ξεφτίλα των κρατών-μελών της Ε.Ε. και της Ευρωζώνης.  Τα συσσίτια των Μητροπόλεων της Εκκλησίας της Ελλάδος σε πλήρη λειτουργία για να σώσουν ψυχές. Από κοντά Ισπανία-Πορτογαλία-Ιταλία, Ιρλανδία, κ.λ.π. Η ανθρωπιστική κρίση σε πλήρη έξαρση. Σκηνές που μόνο στη Γερμανική κατοχή του Β! Παγκοσμίου πολέμου βλέπαμε. Θα μου πείτε μήπως και σήμερα Σιωνιστική Γερμανική κατοχή δεν έχουμε;;;; Το μόνο που μας λείπει είναι ο πόλεμος, αλλά και αυτός από κοντά έρχεται. Βλέπουμε συνανθρώπους μας να πεθαίνουν στους δρόμους από πείνα, όπως τότε στο Β! Π.Π. Ζούμε πάλι τη περίοδο του 1940-45 Η Ιστορία επαναλαμβάνεται. Αυτή τη φορά όχι με όπλα, αλλά με ευρώ. Βλέπουμε συνέλληνες υπηκόους της Ε.Ε. να αυτοκτονούν. Όποιο κράτος θέλει να χρεοκοπήσει, να πτωχεύσει, και να αυτοκτονούν οι κάτοικοί του, ας μπεί στην Ε.Ε., στην Ευρωζώνη , και στο Ευρώ, της Σιωνιστικής Γερμανίας. Εικόνες εξαθλίωσης επικρατούν στους πληθυσμούς των κρατών-μελών της Νοτίου Ευρώπης. Κάτι ήξεραν η Αγγλία και Νορβηγία που αρνήθηκαν να μπούνε στην Ευρωζώνη. Η Αγγλία σαν πρώην Κοσμοκράτειρα γνώριζε τι θα ακολουθήσει. Η Νορβηγία τότε είχε ανακαλύψει κοιτάσματα υδρογονανθράκων, και σου λέει κορόϊδο είμαι να τα μοιραστώ με τους Ευρωπαίους;;; Εμείς οι Έλληνες ανακαλύψαμε κοιτάσματα χρυσού, πετρελαίου και φυσικού αερίου, και προτού τα δούμε, και τα χαρούμε, μας τα πήρανε!! Κάνανε φτερά, τόσο άχρηστοι είμαστε!!! Θα μου πείτε αφού ψηφίσαμε πάλι ΝΔ & ΠΑΣΟΚ δεν είμαστε άχρηστοι;;; Χαϊρι και προκοπή δεν θα δούμε με αυτά τα πιόνια, και τις μαριονέτες της Σιωνιστικής Ε.Ε. Η Ελλάς πλέει επάνω στα πετρέλαια, και στους Έλληνες επικρατούν εικόνες οικονομικής εξαθλίωσης, που εξικνούνται μέχρι αυτοκτονίας. Ήδη θρηνούμε 2500 συγκατοίκους μας νεκρούς αυτόχειρες. Ακολουθούν κατασχέσεις περιουσιών και οικιών, λόγω αδυναμίας συνανθρώπων μας να πληρώσουν φόρους, χαράτσια, και τραπεζικά δάνεια. Τα ασφαλιστικά ταμεία καταρρέουν, μισθοί και συντάξεις είναι αίολες, το σύστημα υγείας χρεοκόπησε, και τα νοσοκομεία αδυνατούν να εκπληρώσουν το έργο για το οποίο συνεστήθησαν. Όλα τα κεφάλαια του δημοσίου ταμείου, και των ασφαλιστικών ταμείων, πήγαν στις τράπεζες της Σιωνιστικής Τρόϊκα. Τα Νοσοκομεία μας έγιναν βρώμικα ξενοδοχεία λαθρομεταναστών, και οι Έλληνες που τα στηρίζουν με φόρους και χαράτσια, έμειναν στην απέξω…..Η δωρεάν παιδεία πήγε περίπατο, και τα δημόσια σχολεία, από παιδικοί σταθμοί, νηπιαγωγεία, δημοτικά, και γυμνάσια γέμισαν με παιδιά λαθρομεταναστών, και τα Ελληνόπουλα που πληρώνουν φόρους, και χαράτια για τις τράπεζες του Ρότσιλντ, έμειναν έξω. Κατά τα άλλα απόλαυσε Κόσμε Σιωνιστική  Ευρωπαϊκή  Ένωση!!! Οι Τούρκοι απειλούν να καταλάβουν τη μισή Ελλάδα, και οι Σκοπιανοί τη Μακεδονία μας, κατά τα άλλα χαρείτε Κόσμε Ε.Ε. Οι λαθρομετανάστες μπαίνουν μέσα στα σπίτια μας, μας ληστεύουν και μας σκοτώνουν, κατά τα άλλα καμαρώστε Κόσμε  τη Σιωνιστική  Ε.Ε. Φτάνει που έχουμε εθνικό μας νόμισμα το Ευρώ.!!!! Δεν υπάρχει αλληλεγγύη μεταξύ των κρατών-μελών της Ε.Ε. παρά μόνο τοκογλυφία, αισχροκέρδεια, και αισχρή εκμετάλλευση. Η Φιλανδία για να μας εγκρίνει το δάνειο, ζήτησε 900 εκατομμύρια ευρώ εγγύηση, και ο Βενιζέλος τα έδωσε. Θαυμάστε κόσμε Ε.Ε. Ο Μάρξ μίλαγε για εκμετάλλευση ανθρώπου από άνθρωπο, σήμερα στην Σιωνιστική Ε.Ε. έχουμε επιπλέον και την εκμετάλλευση κράτους από κράτος. Η λαθρομετανάστευση, η εγκληματικότητα, η ανεργία, οι φόροι, τα χαράτσια, οι κατασχέσεις, η φτώχεια, πάνε σύννεφο, κατά τα άλλα θαυμάστε κόσμε Ε.Ε.                                                                                                           Τεράστιες είναι οι ουρές για μια σακούλα λαχανικά, και για να ένα πιάτο φαϊ από τα συσσίτια της εκκλησίας. Γέμισε η Ελλάδα ευαίσθητες Κοινωνικές ομάδες. Κατά τα άλλα χαρείτε κόσμε Σιωνιστική Ε.Ε. Μπήκαμε στην Ε.Ε. να σωθούμε, και αντί για καλό, βρήκαμε κακό. Πήγαμε για μαλλί, και βγήκαμε κουρεμένοι, λέει ο λαός!!!! Αντί να μας βοηθήσουν μας καταλήστεψαν. Μας χρεοκόπησαν με τοκογλυφικά δάνεια που δεν χρειαζόμαστε. Διέφθειραν το κρατικό μηχανισμό. Μας έβαλαν στο ΔΝΤ με το ζόρι!!!    Μας πήραν όλες τις πλουτοπαραγωγικές πηγές. Μας πήραν τον ορυκτό πλούτο, το χρυσό, τα πετρέλαια, το φυσικό αέριο, τον ΟΤΕ, τη ΔΕΗ, την ΕΥΔΑΠ, τη Βιομηχανία, τον ήλιο, τον αέρα, δεν έμεινε τίποτε για μας. Τα σκάνδαλα της SIEMENS πήγαιναν σύννεφο. Επανήλθαμε πάλι πίσω στα χρόνια της POWER και της OULEN. Αφού καταστρέψατε εμάς οικονομικώς, τότε ποιος θα αγοράζει τα βιομηχανικά προϊόντα σας;;; Σύντομα θα έλθει η σειρά σας….. Τέτοια ξεφτίλα, με τους δοσίλογους πολιτικούς αχυρανθρώπους των μεγάλων αφεντικών της παγκόσμιας Σιωνιστικής δικτατορίας, της οποίας η Ε.Ε. είναι μια επαρχία, με τους πολιτικούς της Ευρώπης να είναι μαριονέτες και πιόνια των κ.κ. ROTHSCHILDS & ROCKFELLERS  προέδρων της παγκόσμιας Σιωνιστικής δικτατορίας. Αυτή είναι η κατάντια της Ε.Ε. Τι μίσος είναι αυτό της Σιωνιστικής Γερμανίας εναντίον κράτους-μέλους, και συγκεκριμένα της Ελλάδος;;;; Ήλθαν εδώ το 1940-1945 σαν κατακτητές, σκότωσαν το πατέρα μας και το παππού μας, και από πάνω μας μισούν, αντί να ζητήσουν συγγνώμη.!!! Που ζούμε στο 1942;;;; Ο βουλευτής των Ανεξάρτητων Ελλήνων κ. Γιάννης Μανώλης δήλωσε στο twitter , «Το ΠΑΣΟΚ έθεσε ως όρο για τη συμμετοχή του στη κυβέρνηση ΝΔ , να μην υπάρξουν εξεταστικές επιτροπές, και διώξεις κατά πολιτικών προσώπων για το πώς φτάσαμε στο Μνημόνιο!!!» έτσι έκαναν οι προδότες πολιτικοί του ΠΑΣΟΚ την Ελλάδα προτεκτοράτο της Σιωνιστικής Γερμανίας. Η ηγεσία της ΝΔ απεδέχθη το αίτημα…….. Η Γερμανία θέλει να αρπάξει τα κοιτάσματα υδρογονανθράκων  με ληστρικό τρόπο, με σκοπό να απεξαρτηθεί από τη Ρωσία. Οι Ούννοι και βάρβαροι προβαίνουν σε πράξεις αρπαγής του πλούτου των «εταίρων» μέσα στην Ε.Ε. Καταφέρατε να δημιουργήσετε μίσος μεταξύ των δύο λαών, γιαυτό υπαίτια είναι η κυρία Καγκελάριος και τα Γερμανικά Σιωνιστικά ΜΜΕ. Κατατρομοκρατήσατε στις εκλογές με ψυχολογικό οικονομικό πόλεμο τους Έλληνες ψηφοφόρους, ώστε να ψηφίσουν τους εκλεκτούς σας. Ελάτε κράτη και χώρες μέσα στην Ε.Ε. θα καλοπεράσετε, όπως έγδαραν εμάς, έτσι θα κλέψουν και το δικό σας πλούτο. Η Σιωνιστική Ε.Ε. είναι ο κλέψας του κλέψαντος…… Οι Γερμανοί απόγονοι Ούννων και Βανδάλων δεν γνωρίζουν ούτε τους στοιχειώδεις διπλωματικούς κανόνες για να κρατήσουν φιλικά διακείμενο ένα προτεκτοράτο. Νομίζουν ότι με τη βία και τον άγριο τρόπο θα συνεργαστούν με την αποικία τους, και θα την εκμεταλλευτούν. Έτσι μας έκαναν εχθρούς. Ενώ μπορούσαν με καλή και φιλική συνεργασία, και προστασία, να κερδίσουν και αυτοί και εμείς από τον ορυκτό θαλάσσιο πλούτο που περιέχει η Ελληνική Α.Ο.Ζ. Τα προτεκτοράτα είναι συνέχεια της δυνάμεως που τα κατέκτησε, τα προστατεύουν από κάθε ξένη επιβουλή, (γιαυτό λέγονται προτεκτοράτα, τυγχάνουν της προστασίας της μεγάλης δυνάμεως, είναι όπως η μάνα με το μικρό παιδί), και τους φέρονται σαν γονείς. Αυτό οι Ούννοι και Βάνδαλοι δεν μπορούν να το καταλάβουν!!!   Θα μπορούσαν με φιλική, ευγενική, οικονομική, τεχνική συνεργασία, αυτοί με τα κεφάλαιά τους και την τεχνογνωσία, και εμείς με τα κοιτάσματα να συνεργαστούμε, αφού επενδυτές ζητάμε και όχι κατακτητές. Αλλά ποιος έχασε το μυαλό για να το βρούν οι Ούννοι. Προσπάθησαν με τα δάνεια, και με δοσίλογους πολιτικούς, να χρεοκοπήσουν την Ελλάδα, για να αρπάξουν το πλούτο. Το λάθος τους ήταν ότι μας καταχρέωσαν, και πρέπει τώρα να ξεχρεώσουμε, αλλά με τους φόρους δεν ξεχρεώνουμε ποτέ ένα απεχθές, επαχθές, και επονείδιστο χρέος, το οποίο άλλες χώρες, με διεθνείς νομικές διαδικασίες,  απετίναξαν……. Οι Σιωνιστές της Βόρειας Ευρώπης, -δυστυχώς «εταίροι» μας- θεώρησαν την Ελλάδα  Αφρικανική χώρα, όπου οι παλαιοί αποικιοκράτες με χάντρες, καθρεφτάκια, και κομπολόγια, άρπαζαν τα διαμάντια των κατοίκων της ζούγκλας. Αντί με διπλωματική ευγένεια να συνεργαστούν μαζί μας, προσπαθούν με το άγριο να μας αρπάξουν τον πλούτο μας. Ας γνωρίζουν όμως ότι υπάρχει και η αντίσταση……….. Μας απειλείται ότι «δεν θα μας σώσετε άλλο», κακό το κεφαλιού σας. Θα ζητήσουμε βοήθεια από τη Ρωσία, όπως κάνει η Κύπρος, και σε ανταλλάγματα θα παραχωρήσουμε, γεωπολιτική, γεωστρατηγική, εξυπηρέτηση, αλλά και γεωενεργειακή… O Nοών  Νοείτω…… Και όποιον πάρει ο  χάρος…….Εσείς θα μετανιώσετε!!!! Παραλάβατε μια ανθηρότατη οικονομικώς Ε.Ε. και την καταντήσατε χρεοκοπημένη. Τώρα σε ποιόν θα εξάγετε τα προϊόντα σας;;;; Δεν έχουμε τίποτε με τον ανυποψίαστο Γερμανικό λαό, αλλά με την ακολουθουμένη Σιωνιστική πολιτική των  Σιωνιστών Γερμανών πολιτικών, και με το φιλοΣιωνιστικό Γερμανικό τύπο, οι οποίοι με το μίσος που εκχέουν εναντίον των Ελλήνων, της Ελληνικής ιστορίας και του Ελληνικού πολιτισμού, μας αναγκάζουν να προσφύγουμε στο διεθνές δικαστήριο, γιαυτά που μας χρωστάει η Γερμανία από το Β! Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο, αλλά και για όλες τις εθνικές προσβολές!!! Σήμερα μια σατανική σαδιστική Σιωνιστική σέκτα κυβερνά το πλανήτη, η οποία έχει «βάλλει στο βρακί της» την πολιτική ηγεσία της Ε.Ε. και την έχει καταστήσει αχυρανθρώπους, πιόνια, και μαριονέτες, ιδιαίτερα την πολιτική ηγεσία της σημερινής Σιωνιστικής Γερμανίας. Οι πραγματικοί Γερμανοί πατριώτες λυπούνται, βλέποντας τη κατάντια των πολιτικών της σημερινής Σιωνιστικής Γερμανίας. Τα πνεύματα των Αντενάουερ και Έρχαντ  συνταράσσονται βλέποντας τη σημερινή κατάντια της Γερμανίας………

Υ.Γ. Προς  Πρέσβη  Γερμανίας-Αθήνα. Παρακαλώ, δεόντως μεταφρασμένο στη γλώσσα σας, να το προωθήσετε στη κυρία Καγκελάριο, και στην εφημερίδα  BILD για την ευγενική της συμπεριφορά……

Dear Alexandre (Stefanopoulos, editor of www.GreekAmericanNewsAgency.com),

                As I rise this morning, I begin the perusal of your wire reports, becoming immediately outraged by the sociologist Antonis Gripeos, writing an open-letter to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, quite obviously as he was in the grip of mental breakdown. How else to explain his casual and frequent references to Zionist European Union, Zionist German media of mass information, Zionist German occupation of Greece, Rothchilds and Rockefellers as marionettes of the world Zionist rule, and on ad nauseam! Goebbels, the master of the big lie, has spawned many imitators!

                It must be the concern of mainstream Greek-American  journalists --- Dimitris Fillios, Apostolos Zoupaniotis, even the errant Dimitris Filippides --- to denounce such lazy, defamatory, analyses that sap the strength of Greece and well-intentioned Greeks, as such ethno-religious poison continues to enter the Greek eco-system. It is time to join www.WeAreAllGreekJews.eu.

               

                It is utter nonsense to maintain that the world has nothing better to occupy its creative hours, planning an exit from the universal economic slump, than to hate Greece, undermine and even seize newly-discovered riches within the country's territorial waters. Further, it challenges credulity that Zionists reap benefits from the human misery that daily unfolds in Greece: the abject poverty, hunger, even suicides are laid on the doorsteps of world Zionism. Of course, all such references are a coward's way to blame Jews, thus displaying his anti-Semitism in stark relief!

                When will you join a select minority of Greeks who unequivocally denounced this contagion, anti-Semitism, in our midst? When will all of the aforementioned journalists declare openly, and thus informing and educating, that Zionism is purely the aspiration for a homeland for my People, history's frequent persecuted, and exterminated, as the Holocaust eliminated 87% of Greek Jewry, including my maternal grandparents and their two sons? That should make all non-Jews fellow ... Zionists! Your continuing silence and indifference perpetuates the anti-social, intolerant, ignorant, anti-democratic, racist and perverse obsessions of such potentially-dangerous characters as Gripeos, Hadjicostas, Iapetos, Lambrakis, Livanis, Pangalos, Plevris, Serapheim, Theodorakis, Toulatos, and others, sadly, too many others, still readily accepted and embraced by Greek society. This remains our collective embarrassment and shame!

                Sincerely, and with fraternal affection,

                                Asher

*Dear Asher: Your attached letter to editor Stefanopoulos was excellently stated. All it takes for evil to succeed is for good people to stand by and do nothing. My prayer is that decent and good people, especially those in elected office, and those who take on the responsibility to responsibly inform the public of the news will have the "cojones" to stand up to bigotry and prejudice wherever they show their ugly heads. We count on his leadership in the Greek-American community to raise his voice against this blatant anti-Semitism. Joseph M. Varon,  Past President, Northeast Queens Jewish Community Council, West Hempstead, NY

**A very small remark, Asher, from someone who is sensitive to such issues. There is very little we can do when people speak (reactionary Sam thinks that your list is hopelessly biased to the right --- although you do mention our great composer Mikis), of the Great Zionist Conspiracy, which includes Zionist Germany of all countries. There is, perhaps, something you can do for the long term interests of the Greek Jewish community. Our Christian fellow-Greeks --- not the enemies of the last lines but those who love us --- have a certain delusion, that the big Judeo-Zionist lobby of the US, the one with the White House, Capitol Hill, the Pentagon and Wall Street in its back pocket, can help Greece against Turkey. As an American, you certainly know the words of President Abe Lincoln: "You can fool some people all the time, and all the people for some time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time." (Even if your fellow New Yorker Woody Allen added "but you can sure as hell fool MANY people for a VERY LONG time.") Which means, some years from now, they will all find out the delusion in the concept of the big lobby, and they will hate U.S., unless we do something about it now. Dr. S.H., Tel Aviv, Israel

***Asher, I usually read what you write but choose not to comment. This time, I am taking time out of my productive day to give my opinion. I think that you are often provoked easily, and spend good energy to argue with ignorance. BIG MISTAKE!!! If you cannot bear silence, maybe something like “I will not waste my time on ignorance” would send a stronger message.
Do you actually think that at al. and their “admirers” have the capacity to fix anything, or to change? They merely feed off of their provocative ignorance! If the latter, then do the world a favor and ignore them! You cannot change, not them, nor their look-alikes and not only in Greece, but around the world. When you comment on their stupidity and circulate their ignorance, you are contributing to their useless "pursuits." It would be much more interesting to read what they all had to say when successive Greek Governments, elected by the people of Greece, during more than two decades, systematically raped the country and its people. Who knows, maybe ALL the corrupt Greek ministers and their cronies were under the “German and Northern European Zionist” influence. Why else would they only care about enriching themselves, with some rare exceptions, at the expense of the people who (sort of) relied on them to lead? Even better, maybe, in hindsight, they were all “Zionists.” Why else would they vote for borrowing more than their country could repay during their lifetime? By now you must surely know that most of us, after a certain age, cannot change. Children might be a more appropriate audience than us grown-ups. Regards,

Victor P., Tel Aviv, Israel

*Hi Asher, It's good that you are speaking up. If it wasn't so pathetic, I would think that these so-called Greeks criticizing the Germans, the very nation that is responsible for the creation (through King Otto of Bavaria, and his propagandist Droissen, with of course the help of the other great powers France and Britain), of the country of Greece almost 200 years ago, was rather funny. You are aware of the obvious Fascist element in Greece and their position in regards to the Jewish community, there and elsewhere, but please understand that their attitude extends to other ethnic groups within Greece, some of whom have been unfortunately totally assimilated, after years of such disregard for human rights to the point of and beyond of cultural and ethnic genocide (look what they did in Macedonia).  What is the real travesty is that these so-called Greeks think that they actually have some direct connection to the ancient Greeks while several DNA studies, as well as a true look at the historical record, shows that there is no connection at all.  These modern Greeks, of course, take credit for everything of note from the ancient world and it seems to me as if they were drunk on these delusions. Did you know that Pythagoras' father was Phoenician and not Greek.  Did you know that both Thales' parents were Phoenician? St. Clement of Alexandria wrote an interesting essay on the ancient philosophers round 2000 years ago in which he states that the Barbarian philosophers were doing as good or better work than the Greeks? Anyway, what is important is that you are making people aware; it is easy to hide one's head in the sand.

**Not remembering the past, or trying to forget the past, will surely seal our lives in the future. Let us be aware of these extreme elements that cast this ominous shadow on the world, and we should be appalled and anxious about these events that are taking place in Greece and any other part of this planet as day turns into night!!! Sincerely, Gary F., Teaneck, NJ

***Asher, I know nothing about the author of the letter you are alluding to, but it is both embarrassing and insulting that attitudes like these oftentimes are held to represent the sentiments of an entire people. There is no doubt that his is not an isolated incident (we have some in our midst in New York), and he should be denounced resolutely and unequivocally by all who care for the image of Greece and the welfare of all Greeks regardless of their religious or political affiliation. (We) should speak on behalf of ALL Greeks, because it concerns ALL Greeks. History has made it plain that all oppressors begin with attacking first a minority and then the next and the next ... You know the dicta "No man is an island, etc." and "No man is free unless all men are free!" O.V., Brooklyn, NY

*Somewhere in the Scriptures, I recall the phrase "Μωραινει Κυριος ους βουλεται απωλεσαι." It seems that this divine process towards destruction  has already begun with a few wisely selected media ...και ... ο νοων νοειτω! G.M., Astoria, NY  

**"How else to explain his casual and frequent references to Zionist European Union, Zionist German media of mass information, Zionist German occupation of Greece, Rothchilds and Rockefellers as marionettes of the world Zionist rule, and on ad nauseam!" What's the matter, Asher, don't you take great pleasure in learning how much power we have? Allen R., Woodmere, NY

                                                LETTERS

Dear L.I. Lodge, Thank you for warmly welcoming Father Patrick Desbois into your community a few months ago. We truly appreciate your recent gift of … to American Friends of Yahad-In Unum. Your support means a great deal to the ongoing efforts of Fr. Desbois and his forensic teams who are working to uncover Nazi extermination sites in Eastern Europe. With the help of our donors they are currently expanding their work to include Poland and Moldavia and ensuring that the lives of over 1.5 million Jews and Roma are never forgotten. As you heard, the most important sources of our information about the details of the "Holocaust By Bullets" including the location of killings fields comes from individuals who were children during the war. They are now elderly individuals and we are losing them on an almost daily basis. We are running out of time. This makes your gift the more important. Again, your generosity is heartwarming. Many thanks. Sincerely, /s/ David Black, President, 25 West 45 Street, Suite 1405, New York, NY 10036, 212-840-1166 F 514 www.holocaustbybullets.com

Dear Asher: As per our conversation of today, you have graciously agreed to teach two Defensive Driving Classes on the following days: Wednesday, July 25, 9AM-3PM, and Tuesday, August 21, 9AM-3PM. I am fully aware of your very busy schedule and appreciate that you still take time to share your expertise with our patrons. … What a lovely daughter you have. I met her as she was helping to hang the Brandeis School art at PPL. She certainly has learned all good things from parents. Best regards, /s/ Gloria Pamerantz, Peninsula Public Library 280 Central Avenue, Lawrence, NY 11559 516-239-3262 F 8425 www.peninsulapublic.org

P.S. I, the Library, and the community thank you for all your work in our Five Towns. Best, /s/ Gloria

Dear Asher, It has been nine years since we met. That is when I retired from Townsend Harris HS and worked for Dr. J. Z. (Queens College-CUNY), but only briefly. Since that time, I have been a supervisor for student-teachers in a special year-long program at Adelphi University. I enjoy reading your encounters with Greek society, and your explanations of history and culture. When I was growing up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, I was quite sure that all Jews had their roots in Eastern and Central Europe. You have opened my eyes to many aspects of another culture, as Sue and I were so happy to see this first-hand when we visited Greece. As I believe I told you, Corfu, and the wonderful synagogue, will always be a cherished memory for us. So, thank you! Keep up the good work!!!
