I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

Between the Swastika and the Bear, Amazon, Andrew Jurkowski. My father-in-law’s memoir of life in Poland 1925-1948, when he escaped to the west. First person account of rural life, Nazi & Communist occupation, and escape. I am co-author.
