Think about coming to help next time we have a lot of fun. by Ruth Lipman Happy birthday, Frank Woerner! Tom Weir sent in the following about a musical celebration: The Nov. 1 Folk Open Sing at the Ethical Culture Society in Prospect Park was an extra special occasion, with more than 50 people showing up to wish longtime Pinewoods member Frank Woerner a happy 80th birthday. The brainchild of Alison Kelley, who co founded the Open Sing more than two decades ago and began planning the party in June, the event came as a complete surprise to Frank. Alison coordinated the festivities with Frank s son and daughter. Attendees enjoyed sandwiches, soft drinks and snacks in addition to birthday cake and a lot of great music. After recovering from the initial surprise, Frank joined others in singing a number of favorite songs, as well as leading some from his own extensive repertoire, among them Jock Stewart, who, like Frank, is a man you don t meet every day. Dan and Vicki Horowitz are proud of their sons and their families. Their oldest son, Alex and his wife, Emily, are making the world a more loving place by fostering young babies. Roger and his wife Anne Marie have a fabulous little girl, a toddler named Zora Frances, now 15 months old. She loves music and at this point in her development, she enjoys dancing with her shoulders!! She loves it when her dad plays the guitar and is particularly delighted when Grandpa Dan strums away. Both families live in Washington, DC. Needless to say, Dan and Vicki visit DC as often as they can. Joanne Davis son Adam, who lives in India, and goes by the name Ram Sharan on social media, has over 400 Facebook followers and counting. Her daughter Naomi just opened an office in Boise for acupuncture and Chinese herbology. Meanwhile, 7

8 Folk Process, continued from previous page daughter Rachel spent Thanksgiving in Jerusalem and played Scrabble with an Israeli club that plays in English. Joanne s seven year old grandson Ben now reads to her. An objective Joanne says that he is phenomenal, of course.
