NEWSLETTER

With “A Dollop of Nostalgia”
This is the 100th issue of The LAFF Society’s newsletter, the first coming out in the Fall of 1991, not long after LAFF’s founding. The look has changed, but its guiding aim has not as each issue has tried as best as possible to reach out to the “men and women engaged in Life After the Ford Foundation”.
The first issue waggishly proclaimed that “Unlike the American Procrastination Society, which apologizes because each issue of its newsletter has not come out later, we will try to publish these with regularity.
“….we will remember old bonds, possibly renew acquaintances, perhaps even help one another professionally, and satisfy sheer curiosity.
“This enterprise is topped with a dollop of nostalgia, for which we make no apology.”

| Basil Whiting 3/23/2022 7:50:08 AM My nine years at “T”he Foundation was, er, the “foundational” experience of my life/career. For LAFF’s newsletter to still be around 30 years and 100 issues later is testimony to that for others, as well. I’m not sure that LAFF and the newsletter can or should be more than the de facto mission statement above, which certainly suffices, though I suppose we should periodically revisit that. Bravo to present leadership of FF and LAFF! |
