“Here’s a picture of my family (daughters, sons-in-law, everyone). We were gathered at the Hotel Del Coronado for a meeting of the Arthur W. Page Society which elected to honor me with its Distinguished Service Award. If you live to be old enough, even people you genuinely admire will eventually offer you an award that acknowledges a lifetime of work in public service and higher education.

“The DSA pales in comparison to the opportunity to gather everyone in the family at one table in California. That was, believe me, genuinely special.”

From the website of the organization: The Arthur W. Page Society is a professional association for senior public relations and corporate communications executives who seek to enrich and strengthen their profession.
