Alvin,
Nice concept on the social entrepreneur. Keep up the good work, although there’s probably another TV show on finding that second career. You made the transition from Wall Street to TV very well.

Alvin:
Always taking credit when I am able, I believe I was the first person who every mentioned Bowdoin to you. Tallahassee, FL, spring or summer of 1970…..I was in Grad School at FSU, Lonnie was teaching the gifted program which you attended. I visited the Walker Art Museum a year or two ago and saw a relatively large display of “A” s. Impressive.
I’m extremely pleased that you are doing so well. Drop an email if you ever find a spare moment.
