Michelle had to work because time was running out |
|
but got unfairly in trouble for "Coping with Joyce". |
|
Ron Hoffman told stories to Ruth Frehner... |
|
and made her terribly giggle :) Ron splits his time between Amsterdam and Bangkok, where he teaches English literature and works as a counsellor. Many years ago, he gave a cheese slicer to the ZJJF, still in use. Ruth has been at the ZJJF just as long as I have been at Vanderbilt! |

Sam Slote and Chris Whalen. These two always had the best Tshirts. Sam had New York subway lines, and 'Tintin in Vietnam'. Chris had 'This one time, at Joyce Camp...' and Einstein's 'I am a deeply religious unbeliever'. |
|
Teresa was happy (- I should have used a flash) |
|
We came in view of Rapperswil. Rapperswil, on the east shore of Lake Zurich, is a medieval town in the canton of St Gallen. Founded in 1229, it is often referred to as Rosenstadt (= the town of roses). The main sights of Rapperswil are a castle dating from the 13c., a reconstructed wooden bridge to Hurden, a Capuchin monastery, and rose gardens (with more than 600 varieties). Rapperwil is on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostella. |
|
You can swim in Lake Zürich. Some took the opportunity including Ruth, Kay, Teresa, and Chris. Amanda and I dipped our feet in the cold water, then sat with Judith to chat. |
|
There were swans at play, and puppies. I was reminded of Sonya. |
|
We crossed the long wooden bridge that links Rapperswil to Hurden. |

We arrived at the restaurant Rössli Hurden. Hansruedi Isler joined us, he came by train. Hansruedi, a kind and generous person, is a long time Friend of the ZJJF and a member of its Reading Groups. Dr. Isler is a Neurologist, and a world authority on headache. Though officially retired, he still sees patients in a Headache and Pain Clinic (Zürich University Hospital). In addition to clinical publications, he is interested in the history of medicine. He has published a book on "Thomas Willis, 1621-1675. Doctor and Scientist" and most recently an article on the first description (1745) of episodic cluster headache. |
