New York

This weekend my family and I returned to New York City for a four-month stay after 15 years in Vermont. Our move was prompted by having two of our three children attend New York University this Fall. Our youngest daughter will spend the semester at the local Rudolf Steiner School. As we move from a large five-bedroom house on the shore of Lake Champlain to an 800 square foot apartment in mid-town Manhattan (luckily our daughter Chiara will live in the same building with her grandmother) it feels more like living in an hotel room than a house.

Seventh Generation honored the Haudenosaunee (the Iroquois’ preferred name for themselves) for the gift of our name by helping out at Ganondagan’s 15th Annual Native American Dance & Music Festival and donating some dollars as a corporate sponsor. Lee and her family, Brian, Luke, and Alex, and Carl and Laurie represented Seventh Generation, with Bec and Gregor each donating their time to make our sponsorship happen.
