Transcription
Feeling an insignificant part of the story. It is possible I expect too much and am not grateful.
The event was a mixed bag - (redacted) + the other original team was honored, but the film shown was odd (excerpts from the movie Three Wives Club) no comments were made, though (redacted) had comments ready. Those honored were given a white high heel as a remembrance - no inscription. Odd.

And for me - I had hopes of somehow feeling part of the team. I didn't. Real? Or Imposter Syndrome? I did see Jessica Winer, Tom Christopher, Linda Lange, Joanie Omeste, Raz Kirmani, Peter.
I hope that if I am in a position to make everyone feel included, needed and important, that I can do that.
The time after the party at O'Lunney's was fun. A martini, fun + lively conversation.
