During a Russian assault on Hungary in the late 1950s, the family of Dr. Catherine Takacs Witkop, fled just in the nick of time.

Fast forward to the late 1960s, her parents settled in Torrington CT where Catherine was reared. She was a star of the Nutmeg Ballet Company and I remember being wowed by here back then along with many other amazingly talented dancers who I got to spend one summer with (getting my one triple pirouette down but not on pointe like she and others could do in amazing performances as well!) She went off to Yale then got her medical degree from Columbia University.

There are many wonderful people who have touched up all of our lives... Let's start with our parents, especially our mothers..Really, where would be without Them? Biological and otherwise, the nurturers of life for each person are precious, especially birth mothers yet also surrogates and those brave nursing moms in the world, many 'figuring it all out' with fewer supports and role models.

Glad I got to be part of couple of virtual walk fundraisers for good causes. Thanks to all walking for good causes, sharing the positive ways to address many needs and making the most of each day...as friends in the Acorns To Oaks Team Outreach and Friends United Network of which everyone is inherently part of ...and outreach I've been doing to help humanity tune into one another, the gifts of life and nature and more...

A-2020 FUN!
