From Fred Barzyk
Did you ever have an idea that was so great, it mushroomed beyond expectations? Well, here’s one for you.
Over the past couple of years, Michael Ambrosino opened his home to a small gathering of local ‘GBH Alums to share memories, stories and experiences over coffee and cookies. Word got out, lit the internet highway, and more alums wanted in. The invitee list mushroomed well beyond Michael’s gracious hosting and capacity.
I contacted Jon Abbott, WGBH President, about the space problem. He set the process in motion. We now have the WGBH atrium space.
Thanks to WGBH for helping us welcome many more alums.
SAVE THE DATE for the 2013 WGBH ALUMNI GATHERING
June 7, 2013, from 2 – 7 PM
From the 2007 Studio Tour
This is not a blow-out reunion party like those of the past with studio, a/v, trinkets, food and drink, but rather an informal gathering with those who want to reminisce and relive some of GBH’s stories and landmark history — history you helped make.
Please let everyone know — from the good ole days — that they are welcome, as is the current staff.
Detailed information will be emailed to you shortly. In the meantime, click here to RSVP today! http://bit.ly/114R9wN.
See you soon,
