THANK YOU to the PENN GAZETTE for sharing about 1989 travel panel & my adventures with Carl
Lisa Niver C’89, founder of WeSaidGoTravel.com, participated in a virtual alumni travel panel last fall, hosted by the Class of 1989, and organized by Julia Stone C’89 with the Penn Alumni 1989 team. Other panelists included Brad Handler C’89 W’89, executive chairman of Inspirato, and Cara Schneider Bongiorno C’89, founder of Philly History Pop Ups; and the panel was moderated by Romy Buchman Coquillette C’89. Among the attendees were Mike Karz C’89 W’89 and Kenneth Pickar Gr’66. Lisa writes, “I also had a 38-year friendship anniversary with Carl Law C’87. We met on my first day as a student at Penn. In other news, my book will be out in September, I’ve spoken at four Travel and Adventure Shows this year (Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas, and New York), and I have started a new podcast called Make Your Own Map. You can find it on my website, at lisaniver.com/makeyourownmap.”

“Open the pages of a book, and behold a universe unfurled. Adventure, knowledge, and inspiration await your curious mind. Let the words transport you to realms unknown, where dreams come alive and stories unfold. Lose yourself in the magic of reading, for within these words, a world of wonders resides.”
Georgetown asked for my talk in advance, and I was about to send it to them on the day I discussed the petition with the dean. It draws on several of my JJ columns about humility, gratitude, and, ironically, the urgent need for dialogue in our polarized society.
Larry’s voluntary sit-down with Lorraine Ali was in support of the official “Curb Your Enthusiasm” book, “No Lessons Learned,” published last September.
Director Paula Eiselt’s documentary acknowledges the early careers of Mel Brooks, Buddy Hackett, Carl Reiner, Joan Rivers and Jerry Lewis. It also goes deeper into why Grossinger’s Resort and Hotel had to exist in the first place.
Mount Sinai estimates the road carries about 20,000 vehicles per day and provides the only route to both memorial parks, including large funeral processions.
While she believes the program can play an important role in addressing antisemitism, Tishby emphasized that no single initiative can solve the problem on its own. “It will be a tool, but let’s not kid ourselves that one thing is going to be the answer.”
I learned to bake scones as a young girl in Australia. I’m still amazed that simple ingredients like a bit of flour, butter and whole milk can be transformed into such delicious bites.
