Linda Schreyer asked me to speak to her “Women in Film” group of mentees — about the importance of writing “Thank You notes” after job interviews. I added a little bit about why it’s a great opportunity to reach out to people who you can’t speak to after an event — and make yourself stand…
On Saturday morning, Brian came over bearing three typewriters in hard leather cases. He was giving one — his first, a manual — to his 12-year-old grandddaughter Georgie. He wanted me to choose which of the other two I wanted. He knew I’ve been looking for a portable, electric, in a hard case that I…
