Re: Help!
Hi Lesley!
Just wanted to check in and see how you and Jeffrey are doing. I was laid off a few weeks ago from my position at the Tenement Museum and back searching for a job. Was reaching out incase you hear of anything. I would like to stay in fundraising for Cultural Institutions but I am open to PR or events positions as well. Please keep me in mind if you hear of anything!
Please tell Jeffrey I said hello and hope he is well and send my regards to others in the office as well!
XOXO

I get to work from home now 3 times a week if JE is not in town...really so nice...I love getting to see more and being a part of his every day stuff more!
Take care and chat soon! Lesley
Glad to hear things are going well! I am still in school and four courses away from graduating with a MS in Urban affairs at [Redacted]. Very exciting...it's been a l0000ng road :)
sounds like a broken record haha)
Love life is good. I recently started seeing someone new who is great (this also

Hi Lesley!
Just dropping a note to say hi! I was in CT recently and thought of you! How is everything? Please tell Jeffrey and everyone else I said hello!

...great place for a family...all is good. my birthday is tomorrow and my parents are flying up on Thursday...woo hoo...although I really don't care for my birthday too much anymore! You still dating the same guy from July?!!
Oh! Happy early birthday! Birthdays do get tougher as you get older haha. It's a great birthday present though to have your family with you! Hope you have a
I was in Westport visiting my cousin! I haven't been to but
it is pretty great!
I'm still dating the guy from July! His name is [Redacted] and he is an at [Redacted]! He's pretty great....the best boyfriend I've had so far haha. We plan on moving in together in the next couple of months!
I started working about 2 months ago at the the American Academy in Rome.
It's a great institution but I'm starting to question my decision to work in the non-profit sector - I can barely live off of the salary and there are alot of anxious personalities in the field! Too much stress for me....I may start looking for an assistant position soon! I want to save money and move out of the city asap! Probably Westchester or upstate - maybe even CT!
How are [Redacted] and [Redacted]
GREAT on John! I love that he is an ...wow...
Next time Jeffrey is in town he wants you to come see him! It looks like that may be next week Wed-Fri Dec. 16-18...will you be around!??
Oh wonderful! I have a paper due and final on the 17th but I can come by on Friday the 18th!? Will you be around as well? Would love to see you too!

I made my train! That was the fastest I've made it. Flats totally help! So great
I'm so glad you made it! I was worried I made you late! It was great to see you too! I've missed you and you look great too!
My meeting with JE was great! It was quick. He asked me what I had been up to and what I wanted to do. He said he would reach out to Eva Dubin about a possible role at the Robin Hood Foundation for me!! It was so nice of him to offer to help, I really appreciate it!!
He said to send you my resume so please see attached!
So I'm flying in still living in the a apartment, which is still very cheap [ ] (rent stabilized) and I'll graduate from the Master's program at [ ] in June! I am so excited! I hate to say it but I'm [ ] tired of being in school - its been a while!
[ ] with you!?
Thank you again and I hope I get to see you again real soon! How is everything
Enjoy the show!
XOXO
Concert was SO great! but too short...they sang 3 songs and that was it! I was hoping for more! But it was very nice and professional (all the kids wore white shirts and black pants type thing) I then I took [Redacted] to a special little dinner...FUN! (today is his birthday :) 11!!)
Jeffrey is always quick but I was very happy he wanted to meet with you...Robin Hood would be fantastic! and even if not Robin Hood your name will be out there...if Eva doesn't need someone perhaps when someone asks her if she knows someone looking your name will be mentioned ...all about networking!! Wishing you the best and lots of fun with the holidays! Take care and keep in touch...Lesley
Wow, I can't believe he is now! He was only a year old when I met you! Time sure does fly!
I'm glad you had a nice time at the concert and special dinner! [ ]
yes, for sure email JE...you can send to me and I can pass along...good idea
I can't believe you left our office so long ago...l was thinking about that last night...it was before we moved to the apartments for an office...then Lauren left...it was all a long time ago, but as you said, time flies so fast...too fast.
Great! I was going to mail a hand written card but do you think it's better to email? I know it has been a long time! I left you guys in 2008 - 7 years ago! Definitely too fast!
Jeffrey is leaving today and won't be back until 2016... I think email so he gets it faster...or you could do both...
Oh right! I forgot he is leaving! Ok I'll write something up by tomorrow and send it over. I have a huge paper due tomorrow so going to work on that now but will definitely send you something by tomorrow! Thank you!
perfect! good luck on paper (ugh...I hate to even think about writing a paper!)
Hi Lesley! Finally got all my work done! Can you please send the following to JE - and please let me know your thoughts? I know he likes short and to the point :)
Dear Jeffrey,
It was so great to see you the other day! Thank you so much for meeting with me and offering to help with my job search, it means a lot! Hope you have a great New Year and I look forward to speaking soon.
XOXO

this is perfect I will pass along...!!
Hi Lesley!
Hope you had a great Christmas and New Year! Just wondering if I could give your name and contact information as a reference for a executive/personal assistant role at Tishman Speyer. They are really interested in my role at NES since it was of an executive/personal assistant capacity. I did not give them Jeffrey's name and told them I preferred not to (wasn't sure how he would feel about it since he is private!).
Thank you!

Hi there! Had a great holiday...hope you did too! Yes, of course give my name! Happy to speak with them...or give them my email address...either ok...and agree not to give out Jeffrey's name...he would prefer that...
Great! Thank you and glad you had a nice break!! If I send over your contact info, I will send along the job description and my resume!
Thanks again!

Hi Lesley!
How are you?! Just wanted to say hi and see how things were. I've been working at a real estate development firm since January and it's going pretty well. Other than that, my [Redacted], [Redacted] and I are doing well and we're expecting!! A boy due in April! How are [Redacted] and [Redacted]?! Please tell Jeffrey I said hello and hope he is well! Looking forward to hearing from you!
XOXO
A baby!!! and its a boy!!!! I’m so very excited for you!! wow!! Hopefully you are taking folic acid already :) and hopefully pregnancy is going well...? Are you living and working in the city? Does [Redacted]? Everything here is going great...work is super...Jeffrey happy...working only in city when he is here and the rest of the time at home! [Redacted] is bigger than me now! [Redacted] years old and [Redacted] pounds! Totally going through puberty! I didnt have a brother growing up (only [Redacted]) so this is all new to me! But he is doing great and loving [Redacted] [Redacted] is well but stressed at work..hoping this will get better soon...! I will tell Jeffrey you say hello!!
Take care and thanks for always checking in ...keep me posted on you and baby boy!!
Thank you! I am definitely taking my vitamins and that [Redacted] and growing normally, I had a bit of a rough time [Redacted] for the first two months but feeling much better now! I'm still living in my apartment in [Redacted] and we plan on staying there probably for another 1.5-2 years. it's not ideal but it will give us a chance to continue saving money! Both [Redacted] and I are working in the city - he works at [Redacted] uptown and will probably work there for the rest of his life (you know how scientists are!). We do have plans to move up to Westchester or Putnam county eventually though. I think at this point we will just have to take things as they come!
It's so great to hear you get to be home with, so often and that he is doing so well! I can't believe he is [Redacted] He was a baby last I remember! It's good to hear that he likes [Redacted], from what I remember I didn't love it so much! Anyway, so glad to hear y'all are doing so well! I will absolutely keep you updated!
xoxo
Sorry for delay in response...TIME GOES TOO FAST! enjoy every minute of every day...enjoy [Redacted], even [Redacted]! I wish I had embraced it all more...especially since I was only blessed once with a child...it is THE MOST AMAZING thing you will ever experience...the first years of [Redacted] life I recall looking at him and thinking "I can't believe we created you!" it is unlike anything you have ever imagined...the best best best part of life..giving life ...and then taking care of that little boy for the rest of your life...hence,...time goes fast...my little baby is not a baby anymore...I'm glad I have the pictures to go back and stare at....and cry at !
wanted to pass along some sad news....[Redacted]
