This weekend we will be celebrating my mother’s ninetieth birthday at a small gathering of family and her friends.

As the day approaches, I contemplate what few words I might say in her honor and I realize that the words of others would add immeasurably to the predictable words of a biased son.

Many of you in the Gotham family have met Esther. She has spoken to Gotham several times and joined us at our holiday party on at least one occasion.

From your feedback, it is clear that she has touched so many people in so many ways.

When I speak to her at her celebration, I would like to share the feelings of as many people as I can. Please join me in sharing your thoughts. I will convey as many as possible.

Thanks
