Lifetime Achievement award



X-No-archive: yes
Shalom,

I was very excited, like many of you, to learn that former JewishGen Vice President, Joyce Field, last week won the Lifetime Achievement award from the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies Conference in Philadelphia. For me, this was certainly a matter of "it's about time" since she was so deserving of this notable award. She dedicated so many years, so much time, initiative and thought into the JewishGen site and her hallmarks are there at every corner - in the Yizkor Book project in the JOWBR and much more.

I send out my own "kol hakavod" and "mazal tov" to Joyce and thank her on behalf of all those who continue to enjoy the fruits of her labor.

Yours,
Lance Ackerfeld
Yizkor Book Project Manager lance.ackerfeld@xxxxxxxxx
