Birthday and Family

My sister called to wish me a happy birthday, and we got to reminiscing about older times. I told her that I had made a donation to the Robert Schalkenbach Foundation to have the reading room in their Georgist library in Princeton be the Francoise Rosen Reading Room, after my mother. My sister was pleased, and spoke of sharing memories and possibly writing some family history. My father was a distinguished professor of philosophy, and my mother was a faculty wife and hostess, so they met quite a few well-known people over the years, and traveled to various countries, when my father was on sabbatical or retired.

We may try to hold a get-together at the Schalkenbach library in a few months, the pandemic permitting.
