Yes! Attending Reunion
Comments

Miss the North Shore and Chicago, friends and family as I have been living with my wife in St Petersburg, FL since 2018 and formerly Fairfield County, Connecticut and Lake Forest, Illinois since the last reunion. Continue to prefer life on the bleeding edge running global businesses, innovating and helping others in digital media and marketing, data, technology. Been teaching grad school in NYC part-time for years. Published 6th book, most recent one a media industry textbook. Very appreciative of my New Trier experiences. The older I get the luckier I know I have been.

School Story

My favorite experiences involve WNTH, Winnetka friends and institutions, Lake Michigan, American pop culture and politics of the late 70s, Chicago trips, and New Trier sports.

I also have very deep, positive memories of my teachers, classmates, and class/non-class reading and assignments.

So much was expected of us, we expected so much of ourselves. My least favorite memories are of so very many disappointments, but if I knew my immediate family was going to turn out so well, I would not have sweat how I got here quite so much.

William Lederer has left an In Memory comment for Alexandra Ganz.

I knew Alex a bit as our parents were very close for decades. I got to know her a bit better in college. Alex was a private person and a striving commercial and fine artist. Our parents were so close, I always felt like she held that against me in some way in terms of her not wanting to share too much as if I could not keep her secrets. I see that with my own children. How unfortunate for all.

I saw that note referencing her death in Mr. Ganz's obituary. What a smart, talented and attractive family. Mr. Ganz was a strong-willed, truly self-made Harvard-educated lawyer, but it was Mrs. Ganz that was the brightest bulb and a really classy lady with one foot pioneering in the executive suite in corporate PR and the other as at home on the North Shore as living in the City.

I believe John Ganz, Alex's dutiful brother, is the sole remaining family member and still lives in the area.
