Dear Gina,
On your website, you offer some (all?) of your essays, written for The Hartford Courant. The instructions on the page state that there are seventy available essays on line (from The Courant). On the first page, ten were/are listed and easily downloaded by clicking on the desired essay. Therefore, it seems logical that the rest should be on the other pages.....ten to a page (that can also be easily downloaded). However, when the other pages were clicked, the same first ten popped up each time.
I don't mean to sound ungrateful for the wonderful first ten I was able to read/access. However, I'd love to be able to read/access the others. Can you fix the site so that would be possible?
Thanks so much,
Audrey Biloon

Thank you for the best seminar I have EVER attended (and at my age, believe me, there have been quite a few). There should have been a warning in the brochure that said, "This seminar is dangerous to your bladder. Please wear protection!"
Your messages came to me loud and clear and I wish you had been around when I was in my 20s. Life would have been infinitely easier.
I have ordered two of your books, but hope that one day I will be able to attend another 'talk'. Please come back to Calgary soon.
Regards, Marion

Hi, Gina,
Just a note from both Silvers to thank you once again for a fabulous
day at the Brandeis Luncheon.
What a wonderful sight to look around a room of 85 people and see them all laughing and nodding their heads knowing just what you were talking about.
Such fun!
Two weeks ago on NPR Weekend Edition, Scott Simon interviewed a young folk singer, Langhorne Slim, and had him sing his hit, "Diamonds and Gold." I was struck by the first verse:
"You can have all the diamonds;
You can have all the gold;
But in the end we all get old!
You gotta learn to get happy along the way."
Thank you for giving us a day to get happy!
With chutzpah and all the best,
Judy and Herb Silver

Gina,
Had the pleasure of hearing your address to the Friday, May 9, 2008 morning NJASBO conference. Being and Italian American, married to an Irish beauty, who BTW, thinks there is nothing better this world can offer than to be an only son in an Italian family (not me), your hilarious stories hit the mark big time. Thanks, I'll be looking for more.

Gina, our sincere thanks for the wonderful presentation at the Governor's Residence on April 22. You filled our hearts with laughter and by doing so helped My Sisters' Place raise $23,000. You can be assured that the funds raised during this event will provide support and care to the 800 women and children in our care annually.
We are most grateful.

 Gina - thank you so much for a fantastic and amazing presentation! We had close to 300 people attend and everyone has been raving about how wonderful it was and how much the evening was enjoyed by all. This was our third time having you speak for us and we are looking forward to having you back again in the future.

January 8, 2007
My name is Jessica Leight, and I am a former Concord Review author and Emerson Prize winner and a graduate of the Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School—and, more recently, a summa cum laude graduate from Yale, a 2006 Rhodes scholar and currently a first-year graduate student in economics at Oxford. Despite these more recent adventures, however, my real education undoubtedly began at CRLHS, a large, urban public high school endowed with considerable resources and many gifted teachers, but without frills, test scores or other laudatory statistics that would convince many it was a place in which a career of rigorous learning and accomplishment could begin.
At CRLHS, a much-beloved history teacher suggested to me that I consider writing for The Concord Review, a publication that I had previously heard of, but knew little about. He proposed, and I agreed, that it would be an opportunity for me to pursue more independent work, something that I longed for, and hone my writing and research skills in a project of considerably broader scope than anything I had undertaken up to that point. Soon armed with a project and an adviser (another, equally well-beloved history teacher), I began to write about the history of Anne Hutchinson, an early American dissident and feminist, in the fall of my junior (and last) year of high school. To my surprise and delight, the paper was published in The Concord Review the following year and recognized with both the Emerson Prize and the Gilder Lehrman Prize in American history. I went on to study Ethics, Politics and Economics at Yale, and The Concord Review proved to be the beginning of a rich and fruitful four years of writing and publishing on political and economic topics. The love for expressing myself in print has never left me.
Years later, in November 2005, I found myself a finalist for the Rhodes scholarship, and as I prepared for the interview, my father suggested to me that it would be wise to be prepared to speak about any subject about which I had written. Looking at the first item on my list of publications, I dutifully returned to my Concord Review essay and read it again—and thus imagine my pleasure when the head of my interviewing committee, as my twenty minutes under the gun drew to a close, asked me to tell him about Anne Hutchinson. Even then, the writing of that one paper continued to pay dividends. One could even venture to say I owe my Rhodes at least in part to The Concord Review, and of course to Anne Hutchinson.
I come from a family with a long and firm commitment to the value of public education, and I hope to continue this commitment when I have children of my own. But I likewise hope that the range of academic opportunities and challenges I discovered beyond my school, that contributed to make my experience in secondary school so rewarding and paved the way for a happy and successful career as an undergraduate and (I hope) as a graduate student, will still be available for them. Among those opportunities, of course, is The Concord Review. Twenty or twenty-five years from now, I will be looking for it.
Sincerely,
Jessica Leight
[Rhodes Scholar
Emerson Laureate]
