The t-shirt was painted by my grandmother's brother Dr. Morton Berson. He married Miss Kentucky, Sarah Evelyn Cooper Berson, also an artist. Dr. Berson was a pioneer in plastic surgery and wrote the book, Atlas on Plastic Surgery. He traveled all over the world giving lectures on plastic surgery. During and after World War ll and/or the Greek Civil War, he restored the faces of Greek children who were oftentimes left unrecognizable from the atrocities of the war. He was decorated by the King of Greece for restoring the faces of Greek children. After the war, the King of Greece said what can I do with these children whose faces are still damaged. Dr. Berson said send them to America 6 at a time and I will take care of them. Medical news reports from the early 1950s state that the Greek Consul General in New York presented decorations and diplomas of honor to Dr. Berson. Dr. Morton was Director of the Department of Plastic &amp; Reconstructive Surgery at Downtown Hospital and the Pan-American Clinic in New York, both hospitals were major treatment centers in mid-20th century New York. Dr. Berson was married to Miss Kentucky, Sarah Evelyn Cooper Berson, also an artist. I recall seeing Dr. Berson's paintings when he hosted all the cousins for summer weekends in Fishkill, NY. Sadly there are few records of Dr. Berson as an artist, we will continue to research more of what I saw firsthand and the certificate below that he exhibited his painting in San Francisco in 1972 at the American Physicians Art Association. <a href="https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/york-medical-dr-morton-berson-mid-4661271559" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">worthpoint.com/worthopedia/york-medical-dr-morton-berson-mid-4661271559</a> My grandmother gave the painting to my mother, 99, and she still goes on a treadmill a few days a week. My mother's mind is still very sharp but I cannot recall if it was my mother or grandmother who told me the painting was painted in Piraeus, Greece. We hope to get volunteers who can scour through Greek newspaper archives in Greece and New York to find articles, or contact American College of Surgeons, American Society of Plastic Surgeons or other medical organizations AMENITIES Everyone will receive an Event t-shirt and if you register by May 13, your name will be noted on back of shirt.

Join Friends of the Long Pond Greenbelt and South Fork Natural History Museum (SOFO) on a leisurely-paced hike through open-field trails. Whenever two full Moons appear in a single month, the second is christened a “Blue Moon.” Due to our calendar days, the appearance of a Blue Moon is actually a relatively rare occurrence as one rises on average only once every 2 1/2 to 3 years.&nbsp;FLPG Board Member Doreen Johnston will serenade us with tranquil gong sounds after the hike. Allow your body to hear the full moon vibrations translated through a beautiful hand-crafted gong as you sip cider and relax into the sound.&nbsp;&nbsp;Meet at the SOFO Museum parking lot, 200 yards north of the RR tracks.&nbsp;Leader: Jean Mc Dermott, <a href="tel:631-599-2391">631-599-2391</a>.&nbsp; RSVP : <a href="https://null" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">info@longpondgreenbelt.org</a>.

Come share the journey of America's 250-year legacy. We’re hosting a special film screening and talk with expert historian and filmmaker Greg Blank. The lecture will highlight the representation of immigrants in early Hollywood cinema and the evolution of the portrayal of immigrant characters in more recent films and explore the ways in which immigrant stories are used to address larger social, political, and cultural issues. We’ll look at movies that detail the immigrant experience, such as The Godfather, Part II (1974); America America (1963); Avalon (1990); films from the early silent days, such as Charlie Chaplin’s The Immigrant (1917); to more recent films like Brooklyn (2015) and Minari (2020); as well as comical or allegorical commentary on the immigrant experience, like Coming to America (1988) and Alien Nation (1988). The presentation concludes with a discussion of the importance of accurate and nuanced representation of immigrant experiences in movies and the impact that these representations can have on shaping public perception and understanding of immigration.

Greg Blank has over 15 years of experience as a producer, director, cinematographer and editor. He has been lecturing on film and media studies and other topics since 2018. Greg is an award-winning producer for the show Push Pause Long Island on Verizon Fios1, and as a documentarian for the films Undocumented (2016), and A World Within a World: The Bay Houses of Long Island (2020). He has developed and produces over 70 lecture programs for public and private clients, including LIU Post Hutton House, Molloy College, The Huntington Cinema Arts Centre, and dozens of colleges, libraries, and venues throughout the country.

The program will take place at the Great Neck Library Station Branch, 26 Great Neck Road, 2nd Level, Great Neck, on Friday, June 5, at 2:00 p.m. Registration is not required; seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information, please call Great Neck Library at (516) 466-8055 or email <a href="mailto:adultprogramming@greatnecklibrary.org">adultprogramming@greatnecklibrary.org</a>.
