Ypu have always gotten first-rate speakers which tells me you are respected in Hollywood. One of these days I will make a Blue-Brothers like Drive down I5 and surprise you!

A lot of us will be with you and your family in spirit and look forward to the lecture.
You have had such an impressive roster of speakers for these lectures it would surely bring a smile to Ariel to know his life attracted such talent. A special man indeed.

That photo always makes me smile. It is absolutely wonderful. The one of Karen hugging Ariel on his first day, in contrast, makes me verklempt.
My thoughts will be with you all Sunday.

Robert, I look forward to hearing this year’s lecture online.
I’m sure the pain and loss will always be a presence in your (and Karen’s) heart, but as an outsider (very outside) looking in, I feel compelled to say that you were very blessed to have Ariel in your life — even if that time together was far too short. It seems to me that he achieved far more in his short time on Earth than many men achieve in 70-80 years and I’m sure he added a multitude of blessings to your life.
Shalom,
Joe
P.S. – I know I’ve seen that photo before, but it is absolutely wonderful.
