UNICEF

3 October 2008

After many years of serving as your sole representative to UNICEF, I am passing the torch to Eleanor Schlesinger. who did such an excellent job of filling in for me during my lengthy surgery absence.  (I shall spare you the details of the knee replacement and consequent cardiac issues!)  However, I am not finished yet!  Those of you who have heard me speak know that I have thoroughly enjoyed my UNICEF responsibility and I look forward to my new position as your Alternate Representative to UNICEF.

In a rare moment of international common cause, we have seen the very best of humanity in a global experience few of us will ever forget.
