HUMORIST DEAR JRC © 2004 Jordan Margolis Dear JRCniks: Don't worry, it's not an old newsletter. Jordan is retiring... as Membership Chairman. After three exciting terms, I've decided to retire at my peak; on my own schedule; and while I'm still, arguably, the best Membership Chair )RC has had in the last three years' My body is telling me it's time. (-I he drive from Highland Park to Evanston for summer Introduction to Reconstructionism Services and New Member Coffees have taken their toll.) I just feel that I should he car-pooling with that other Jordan in Highland Park. Now, I don't want to get maudlin reminiscing about the numerous highlights of my tenure; hut; I am proud to say that I was never convicted of any of the morals charges. And although it might sound a bit audacious of me to suggest the idea, I really wouldn't mind if my yarmulke was retired and hung up in the rafters of the sanctuary. If so, I promise not to come back and spoil the gesture (like that other classless Jordan did). I'll stay gone. All seriousness aside, I do want to thank some very special people. First and foremost, my wife, Holly, and my daughters, Lindsay and Jori, who generously let nee do my thing ("daddy's at JRC tonight"). Thanks also to Bryna-na for her endless support; and to Lynn Pollack, Editor of this Newsletter, for publishing my Muse-Letter column. (Any readers who want copies of my favorite Rejects - December 1998, January and May -1999 - just let me know.) Finally, special-bigtime-thanks to one of my favorite people in the world, Barbara Israelite, who does all the thankless hard work with grace, warmth and "seichel." Keep the sparks flying. JRC-ya, Jordan Margolis PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION |
