Chronia Polla to Jina Politi!

I was delighted to see Jina Politi at the Athens Conference, Between Two Worlds.

We spoke on the phone this morning. Professor Emeritus Jina Politi celebrates her 81st birthday today.
Congratulations and chronia polla!

Thessaloniki, Greece, and on retirement in 1997 was granted the title of Professor Emeritus.
