ried’s daughter, Indie Frances Fried, was born on December<br />

❑ On December 2, 2022, longtime <strong>WWBA</strong> member, Gladys<br />

G. . Ullmann, Esq., was inducted into the Westchester County<br />

Senior Citizens Hall of Fame. The awards ceremony, now in its<br />

40th year, was conducted as a multi-platform virtual event and<br />

led by Westchester County Executive George Latimer.<br />

The Senior Hall of Fame is a tribute to older adults who<br />

have generously given their time and energy to improve the<br />

quality of life in their communities or Westchester County at large.<br />

This distinction is awarded to those whose contributions have<br />

made a positive difference through their professional lives, volunteer<br />

work, or both.<br />

Gladys, who is currently 91 years old and practicing law,<br />

began her career as a high school teacher in Mount Vernon<br />

and Ardsley schools, where she taught French. After retiring for<br />

20 years, she returned to school herself and obtained a law<br />

continues to be a vibrant participant of the <strong>WWBA</strong> – she is a valuable contributor to<br />

book club discussions and attends many social events. Gladys is also an active<br />

member of the Scarsdale Women’s Club and the New Rochelle Bar Association. The<br />

<strong>WWBA</strong> extends congratulations to Gladys for this recognition of her outstanding professional<br />

life, and gratitude for her contributions to our community!<br />

❑ Collaboration between the <strong>WWBA</strong> and the Westchester County Bar Association<br />

continued this year with overwhelming support from our members, amounting to a<br />

successful second Winter Coat Drive. More than 300 coats, plus scarves, hats, and<br />

Homeless Shelter, and Midnight Run. Thank you, donors!<br />
