Love from: David Hattis

I have known Lauren for close to 50 years.

Prior to wedding of Lauren and Karen

I met Lauren when we were both working for Harry Broley (CIA) at the National Academy of Science on a project to revolutionize the housing industry in the US.  The project was supported by the Scaife foundation, but concluded that it was unlikely.

When Lauren would visit us at home, our daughter Eleanne was very happy to sit on his lap. Now they communicate on business development.

Wedding

I was there, and Rina reminded me that I recited a poem in Hebrew.

Post wedding

Rina and I interacted with Lauren a lot before he and Karen moved to California. Once we traveled to Israel, enjoying good meals and meeting with ACA to explore bringing an advanced Israeli CAD system to the US.

We visited Lauren and Karen in Concord, and Met Edward and Peter.

We have spoken often, but not frequently enough, but each time Lauren has provided me with good insights on life.

My only regret is not having met Edward and Peter as adults.
