JAN 20th-22nd: Janet went to New York City to visit with two of her sisters, Susie and Claudia. She stayed with Susie and Milton at their apartment on the west side of Central Park. She also got to see a special relation of mine, Jane Creel. Jane was reported to be occupied with many volunteer positions and activities within the City as well as traveling the world. She had just spent a week in Berlin with friends after Christmas. Everyone seemed to be healthy and doing well. I know Janet was very glad to be able to see everyone. She also got to meet with a fabric company, Marcus Brothers, down in the garment district, so hopefully that may lead to some new design work and commitments in the near term. Unfortunately, the city was forecasting a major winter storm that was to impact most of the northeast on Saturday and continuing into Sunday, so Janet decided to cut short her stay by one day. She made a quick stop by Claudia's apartment down close to "Ground Zero" and then took a cab to La Guardia in order to make an early flight back home. All-in-all, it was a very good trip.
