Not sure how many knew, but Efrat (Airel's wife, Sherrry and Vernon's daughter in law) was supposed to have made a trip to the States over Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, it didn't happen. Three days before departure she was on a bicycling trip with friends and took a fall. She ended up on the operating room table, and now sports a prosthetic radius head in her elbow plus some tendons that needed repair. **OUCH** End result is that she IS recuperating, but we did not get to see her, and it looks like prospects for her trip are completely out. We all send you our sympathy, Efrat, and wishes for a full and speedy recovery! And if you can't come to see us... maybe a bunch of us will have to get together and trek to your part of the world. Efrat is one of the absolute sweetest people on the face of the earth, and I think that everyone in the Family should meet her. Hopefully it will happen, someday...
