Larry Rand writes: “Yesterday, Tiina and I trekked to Brooklyn where I was inducted into the James Madison High School Wall of Distinction. There I join some other alums you may know: senators Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders, Norm Coleman (all served in the Senate at the same time. No other secondary school in America can say that!). A couple of jurists, Judge Judy (Blum) and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a singer-songwriter or two (Carole King) and some writers (Irwin Shaw, Pamela Gray). My class of inductees included two Nobel laureates (Madison boasts of 6…highest number of nonspecialized secondary schools in America), a poet, an artist, a financier, and an NBA All Star whose team (and he) beat up on Brown when he played for Penn. Quite a crowd and I could not hold it totally together in my remarks. But did succeed in bringing the audience to tears. Enjoy life and stay well.”
