Come hear Israeli novelist and activist Amos Oz speak on November 15 Dear Wesleyan Community, On behalf of the Jewish community at Wesleyan, "The Havurah," and all of its co-sponsors, we would like to invite you and your friends to join us for an evening of dialogue and discussion with Israeli novelist and political, human rights activist, Amos Oz. He will be delivering his lecture entitled, "Some Israeli Perspectives on the Various Confrontations in Israel Today," as part of our annual Fall Lecture Series at Wesleyan University on Monday, November 15, 1999 at 8:00p.m. in the Science Center 150 Auditorium. Atticus Bookstore will be present with many of the author’s books, and we encourage you to join us in welcoming our guest speaker to campus with some refreshments and conversation immediately following the program. All are welcome! B’shalom,
Douglas Cannon, we miss you! It’s time to come home, for heaven’s sake! Dear Douglas Cannon, Ever since a cold morning early on in March of 1957 you have not been able to still for more than a few months. I understand your desire to travel. We all feel the need to get away and travel every once in a while. Since 1957 you have been to the Eiffel Tower, Buckingham Palace and were even rumored to have made it to Venezuela. You have also been given graciously as a gift to the managing editor of Life magazine, President Richard Nixon and even the Russian Mission to the United Nations. After a brief campus appearance on December 15, 1997 you quickly took off–this time for Montreal. It has now been almost two years since we have last heard from you. The students, alumni, faculty and staff of Wesleyan miss you. Don’t you think you have traveled enough? Isn’t it time to return home? I know it is a big world with so many wonders to see, but Wesleyan is your home and we all need to take a little rest at home between travels. Soon a new millennium will be upon us and who knows what type of problems might arise around the world. Why not come back to the safety of Middletown where you won’t have to worry about Y2K? If you do not wish to grace us with your presence in the near future because you are waiting for some special occasion upon which to return, I understand, but at least let us know that you are well and safe. Tell us about your adventures. We miss you Doug and want to be reassured that you are not in harm’s way. Good luck with your travels, drop us a line and please hurry home. Sincerely, |
