Biographical Sketches
We are starting a new section on our website to hold
biographical sketches of our members who wish to contribute one.
Although some of us have known many of our members for a
number of years, we have some newer members that we do not know as well
and who do not know some of the other members as well. We
hope that by sharing more information about our lives, the journeys we
have traveled, perhaps our dreams and goals, or whatever is dear to us,
it might draw us all closer. We launch this section by using
a life/professional sketch that our president, Ron Lawson, wrote to his
colleagues on the occasion of his retirement from teaching at Queens
College. While some of it relates to his work there, much of
it includes information about his journey from a young
immigrant to the US
to the Ron many of us only knew later in life.
We would like to encourage others to
contribute sketches for
this section on our website. Our
site
does not offer a way for you to directly post them, but you can send
contributions to webmaster@mnyaforum.org
and I will post them to share with other members.
