CATHERINE BOURA

New York. By Catherine Tsounis, Greek News, December 3rd, 2007

She is a person with a classical Greek profile. Low key, pleasant, without meanness in her soul, this diplomat was “a servant of the people”. The intellectual, who has a Ph.D. on areas focusing on Asia Minor and the Middle East, mingles with the powerful, rich, middle class, all nationalities with ease. Her warmth made her four years as consul general of Greece to the United States unforgettable. One always felt welcome at the Greek Embassy in Manhattan. This is the legacy of one of the great women of our generation: Dr. Catherine Boura.

On Tuesday evening, November 27th, an elegant dinner was held in Ms. Bouraʼs honor at Mezzo Mezzo located on 31-29 Ditmars Blvd. in Astoria, NY. Over one hundred prominent Greek-American women attended to raise a scholarship fund in the diplomatʼs name. Aphrodite Daniels, multi-talented with a unique singing voice, entertained all non-stop throughout the evening with live musical entertainment. The Mistress of Ceremonies was Nancy Biska, leading international journalist/internet webmaster, who is governor of the Pan Macedonian Association for the District of New York and New Jersey.
