I'm not sure I've ever felt closer to any man than I was to Carl. This is in spite of the fact that we graduated from different universities, had radically different family backgrounds and followed much different careers. My recollection is that I served as Best Man at Carl's wedding, and he served in the same role in my wedding. He moved to Chicago for his career. I moved to Philadelphia, where I met a resident in my small Center City apartment building, married her about six months later in a traditional Quaker ceremony. We moved to Washington, D.C., where I was a top staff person for an international professional association, and my wife a top writer for a national news magazine. We bought and operated an FM radio station in California's Gold Country, gave birth to and raised a boy and girl. The boy went to the U of M, the girl to U.C.L.A. Along with a partner, we came to own three radio properties in California. We operated the station in the Gold Country for about 19 years, sold it, and immediately moved to a town a few miles from the Pacific, where we have been comfortably retired for 20 plus years. Our two children both have high status jobs in internationally prestigous organizations based hundreds of miles away. So far they have given us three grandchildren.
Hay Ed....I couldn't agree more. That is exactly what went through my mind as I read the comments. I kept asking, "where is Carl" in all this self adulation?
I preceeded Carl at Mack. by five years so there was no personal connection there but it was sure an egosentric apistle to say the least!

Very good Larry, But your story sounds less like a memory comment of Carl than it does a life history of Laurence Rutter.

Gentlemen:
It sure was a strange post as well as being hard to read. Maybe he meant to send the comments to someone else.
take care
