    My, my…you have brought back some delicious memories of one of the true originals in the communications business. I have so many fond memories of Larry. I can remember walking down Michigan Ave with him after IABC meetings, arguing about everything from “white space” in a publication to IABC’s landmark research project: In Search of Excellence in Communication.” He was a great man. I miss him to this day.
