Now into the unknown

When you do your job well
The sky is the limit


He went to AdAge from Broadcasting magazine
The year was nineteen hundred and forty three
From Cornell and Columbia a recent grad

The job interview with AdAge was the last he ever had

He never bought any paper because he was so cheap

He'd write and mail stories on the back of Western Union sheets
Never swayed by his peers opinions
He was a man with a mission

And that's what people will remember him for
