All posts in Wednesday Nights

The accounts of Wednesday Night Salons in chronological order appear below. The task of archiving them is on-going . As stated elsewhere, it was not until the early 90s that we began to keep weekly records of discussions, therefore, there are, unfortunately, major gaps in the earlier chronicles.
Most, but not all, accounts until 2014 were written by our late Scribe, Herb Bercovitz, and edited as required, by Diana, however a number of other Wednesday Nighters also contributed their note-keeping talents on occasions when Herb was absent. Once Herb was no longer up to the task, no-one volunteered to execute the task with such absolute fidelity. Then COVID invaded our weekly gathering and pushed us to ZOOM, where we remain, and since then, the entries for Wednesday Night consist only of the “Prologues”. Chatham House rules prevail!
