Yesterday was my work anniversary. September 9, 1966. 57 years of working and playing hard. I have been home all this week with a cold that won’t quit. Yet, technology allows me to follow my determinations. My mother made me go out and find a job in my teens because I was such a lousy college student. If a teacher was engaging I did very well. Unfortunately, there weren’t too many of them. I actually went o Queen’s College at twilight. I got a job for the next eight years with WWD and HFD in Greenwich Village, and the whole world changed for me. Then I moved on to CES Publishing where I met Eliot. Three years after that, Eliot and I started HWH PR. Many of the folks we hired were smarter than me but I had the big personality and passion. I knew how to make things happen, or maybe I never stop trying. Thank you Mom. You never made demands except for this one. This is a list of business people who made me look good in “my early years” when I was just struggling. If I forgot someone remind me in comments. My nose is congested and my eyes are tearing but here goes: Bernie Lett, Frank Tricarico, Aaron Neretin, Manning Greenberg, Eric Schneider, Abe Zimmerman, (Bob Dylan’s father) Hibbing, Minnesota, Richard Ekstract, Cathy Ciccolella, S. David Feir, Warren Zorek, Len Marks, John Hollands, Harry Elias, Norman Olson, Harry Fox, Maurice de Hond, Frank O’Connell, Marty Homlish, Rob Reis, Barbara Wruck, Jerry Rubin, ,and a few Republicans who voted for Trump. I refuse to mention their names unless they admit they made a terrible mistake. You know who you are. Thank you.
