I need to correct a typo made when I entered my condolences 3 years ago. I should have read it over before submitting. What came through was a movie reference that printed “sad pace Camp” and was intended to be Space Camp, a movie I continue to enjoy.

Len was my first boss in TV at NBC research in 1959. He always had a flair for programming even in those early days. He helped shape my 40 yrs in TV and advertising. RIP my friend and mentor.

To The family,
I'm very sorry to have read in the obituaries that your family has experienced the pain of losing a loved one in death. During this time of mourning, I would like to express my sincere condolence at the loss of your loved one and I pray everything is going as well as can be expected. With sincere sympathy to the family may these understanding thoughts help somehow to convey the sympathy that hearts can feel but words can never say.
