"This is great! I just hired a violinist for a Messiah performance at my church -- didn't get her phone number, but was able to look her up on the directory to get a timely message to her. This is a great news sharing networking tool that I wish we had always had."
—Eric Birk, 1988, Organist & Choir Director, Flatbush-Tompkins Congregational Church (New York City)

Ethel Fisher, Class of 1958, told us how she used the Directory to e-mail a former classmate who now lives in Philadelphia. They spoke after many years and were even able to get together in person for old times sake.
