[ha-Safran]: Congratulations on a wonderful convention
I think it is never too late to say a few words of thanks to Elizabeth and Elana and everyone who helped to make this convention a big success. Today is my first day of work after my long vacation in the States. Being the first-time attendee, the NY convention is an eye-opener for me. There I met a lot of people whose names I have seen often in HaSafran or I have emailed with. I finally can put the names and faces together. Everyone I met is so friendly and helpful. Thanks to the tireless efforts of the organization committee, there were more sessions than I could attend. I learned a lot and I had fun too. On the personal front, I would like to express my gratitude to those who took me under their wings when I seemed lost. I also thank you Sally Brown for giving me the Doris Orenstein Award. My heartfelt thank you also goes to Laurel Wolfson, Lee Wixman, Alice Shook (my lovely room-mate), David Hirsch and Ronda Rose who extended their hospitality to me beyond the convention.

RE: [ha-Safran]: Congratulations on a wonderful convention
Dear Folks, Before they are entirely forgotten, I would like to thank a few of the other people that were involved in this conference who helped to produce such a successful event. Among the people with whom I am aware, I would like to thank Rita Lifton, Sara Spiegel, Pearl Berger, and Steve Siegel. I realize that Liza Stabler and Elana Gensler contributed a tremendous amount to the conference but I know that these other people contributed a great deal as well. There were undoubtedly other people on the committee that I didn't mention and I am sure that they also deserve recognition. I apologize for not mentioning them. But let's hear it for everyone who worked so hard to bring off this wonderful convention. Regarding the technology issue, I would like to comment that I miss the taping that was done at previous conferences. When they have so many important things going on at the same time, one is bound to miss some more important discussions that one really wants to hear. It was possible to tape the lectures in years past, and with developing technology, it should be possible now. Heck, we should be able to video tape the lectures by now--oh yeah video tape is now a dinosaur, I forgot. Oh well. In any case, thank you to all those involved in the convention, both mentioned and not mentioned.

[ha-Safran]: Jewish Children's Out-of-Print Books
As a follow-up to our AJL Convention session on bringing out-of-print Jewish children's books back into print, I would like once again to thank everyone who submitted a wish list. I made your lists, along with the other titles that Sylvia Firschein gathered a few years ago when she started a similar AJL project, to five small publishers: Urim Publishers Henry Hollander Pitspopany Press National Yiddish Book Center (Digital Printing Project) Kar-Ben Publishing These publishers had previously expressed an interest to Sylvia in seeing the lists. Linda Silver has asked me to chair the Out of Print Books Task Force for AJL. I will keep everyone posted as to the procedures we develop in trying to bring OP books back into print.
