Marty and I have always said that our two best accomplishments are Mara and Dov. This weekend we were puffing with pride as Mara graduated a civil engineer from The University of Delaware. There were thousands of people at that ceremony—and, all I could see was Mara. Our advice to her is the same as it has always been:

Think far ahead; look ahead—not behind.
Aim very very high.
Make mistakes and learn from them.
Be generous.
Remember to have fun!

Mara is amazing, and we can’t wait to see what is next.

The weekend was filled with family and fun. Dov, Mara, Marty and I were happy to be joined by my mother, Jeanne (center), and my father, Melvin (right). And, of course, we had a feast—Marty made his awesome chicken on the big green egg.
