In 2005, I attended a fund raising dinner for the National Council Against Censorship at the Rubin Museum with my colleague and dear friend Dr. Leonore Tiefer. At the time there was an exhibition of ancient Tibetan art on the third floor. As we looked at the beautiful ornate scrolls, one described special powers bestowed on a Priestess who turned seventy-seven when the number seven was in the year. Leonore quickly calculated that would be me in a couple of years and said we definitely had to do something special. She always takes notes and this is what she recorded: March 31, 2007 at 1:30 PM. 77 years, 7 months, 7 days, 7 hours. Betty's Buddhist Celebration.
