    THE GREATEST THING

    SCANDALS, CUSTOMS, and MANNERS

    Dear Friend, One of the most memorable events of my life was my tenth birthday.  My grandmother, who was the Executive Secretary to the Airport Manager of LaGuardia Airport, was coming to get me to fly me back to NYC!

    OVER AND OVER, AND OVER–SOCIAL MEDIA ISN’T SOCIABLE

    Dear Friend – This time, I’m talking about my efforts to become an accomplished social media user. When social media came along, I thought I’d be a natural. Earlier in my career, I learned to use desktop publishing for newsletters
