Happy Thanksgiving!

Thinking of you all and hoping you are able to share this day with friends and family.
I am grateful for many things in my life and having you all as part of it is definitely included!

Hope to see you soon!

Love,
Roberta

Carol Reed and the Bruce Springsteen Connection

Carol is so proud and excited. She wanted to me to share this information with you:

On Nov. 9, at The Morrison Hotel photo Gallery in NYC, my husband, Frank Stefanko, had a photo exhibition along with a new book release of Frank's book:  "Bruce Springsteen, Further Up the Road".  

The book is a retrospective of Frank's 40-year collaboration photographing Mr. Springsteen.  Many unseen, as well as some brand-new, photos were included…all taken by Frank. 

 She included a link to a series of pictures  taken by their friend and photographer, Jim Marchese. The link is to Jim's facebook page, so I am thinking those of you not on facebook will not have access to them.

Here is Carol's link.

If you do have access to it, she further explains something about the photos:

First row is Frank & me…. checked shirt "guy" is DJ Tom Cunningham,
3rd row pic. 1 & 2 (grey haired man) is Guido Harari, publisher and designer of the book.
                   3 & 4 are Frank, me, and singer-songwriter (the wild hair) Willie Nile.
Last pic on right is Jim Marchese (wearing beret) 

Congratulations and continued success, Carol and Frank!

Atlantic City Convention 2017

I'm so glad I was able to attend the NJREA Convention and learn more information about the upcoming prescription provider change coming in January. BCREA members will no doubt be receiving an e-blast soon with this information. (Non members can still join by calling NJEA at 609 599-4561).

It's always great to meet up with  friends from yesteryear. I bonded with George Dobich (Somerset County) and Stacy Morgan Santo (Mercer County) at the "Effective Leadership Training" workshop at the 1978 Summer Leadership Workshop in Princeton...almost 40 years ago!

Where are they now department (starring Janet Pilvalis)

Thanks to Janet Pilvalis, the first responder/contributor to my message about this blog!

Janet and Frank were in SC at a wedding last week (nice picture!) and will be visiting their FL cottage this week. (Ah! Retirement!)

Remember Bunny Hewko?

In my relatively new role as BCREA "e-blaster", I get to deal with the association member list to send out messages via Constant Contact, a service similar to the Mail Chimp program I use for our DEAR friends occasionally.

I bumped into Bunny Hewko via an inquiry and we ended up going to Prospectors for Happy Hour and dancing last Wednesday.

Next Wednesday I will be in Atlantic City for the NJREA Convention, but I propose that those of you interested think about coming out to Prospectors for a similar outing in the future. Who's in?

Meanwhile, I look forward to seeing you on the 15th at Dooney's!
