Wisdom…
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination are omnipotent.
The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Calvin Coolidge

Governor Warner Hosts Ambassador Ayalon, State's Jewish Leaders
by Fred Diamond, DIAMOND Marketing
On October 7, Virginia Governor Mark Warner hosted leaders from the state’s Jewish organizations to lunch at his official residence in the state's capital Richmond, Virginia. This was the first time Governor Warner presided over such an event. Over 90 representatives attended the lunch, which featured a speech by Israel’s Ambassador to the United States, Daniel Ayalon. Mel Chaskin, the Chairman of the Virginia Israel Advisory Board, said "this high level meeting supports the fact that Virginia has become the US home for many Israeli companies.
“The governor and ambassador both noted that Virginia and Israel have similarly strong and focused high-tech industries and that there are great synergies between the two, particularly in areas such as bioterrorism prevention and bioinformatics,” said Chaskin. Chaskin, President, & CEO of Vanguard Research, said that Ambassador Ayalon invited Governor Warner to visit Israel in the near future and that Governor Warner’s staff would look into his making this trip, perhaps in the Spring of 2004.
