Tom and Peg Carr took the Observer along when they visited the Goreme Open Air Museum in the Cappadocia region of Central Turkey, where churches and monasteries with frescoes from almost a millennium ago are carved into the soft volcanic rock. The Carrs were in Turkey visiting their children in Istanbul.
The staff of ASSIST, based in Suffield, chose to celebrate the organization’s 50th anniversary with a gala in Berlin, Germany. From the left, perhaps in a local beer garden there, are Anne Stanley, Robin Eastman, Andy Rarus, Bob Stanley, Mart Eastman, and Lisa Rarus. Assist, where Bob Stanley has been president for over 20 years, is a local nonprofit organization that matches academically talented, multi-lingual international students with American independent secondary schools. Their office is in Suffield Village.
