My older brother Richard is my Best Man. We grew up in a four-story brown stone in a South Brooklyn neighborhood named Cobble Hill. In case you haven't figured it out yet, Richard is the one on the right in the picture. Since he is seven years older than I, it was always hard work to keep up with him. Of course, I never could, but in the long run, I benefited greatly from having him teach me so much. The photo was taken by our father, and we are letting him know what we think of his photo-taking. In most ways, Richard and I are complete opposites. As a result, we even attended two radically different schools; I attended Saint Ann's School and Richard attended Packer Collegiate Institute. To put it plainly, Packer was a well-known, preppy, pompous, rather conservative school and Saint Ann's (contrary to what its name may suggest) is an artsy, liberal, all-round weido school. Still, much better than Packer. circa 1988 Here I am with my brother Richard and our Grandmother Ella.

Perhaps, one indication of the superiority of Saint Ann's over Packer is the number of famous people who have gone to Saint Ann's. Let's see, there's me.... and uh... some guys in a popular rap goupr (who want to free Tibet), and even a recent Ocsar winner. Oh well, there are others too. For example, consider my good friend Pete Sand, who will also be attending the wedding. Pictured below with me when we are about 13 years old, going out to have a beer at the 21 Club. circa 1983 Trivial Question What well-known movie, that stars Robin Williams, does Pete appear in? Clue: He plays a character named `Horse.'
