From the desk of Dr. Martin L. Schulman

Dear ___,

Class letters, stray sparks, farewells, and good stubborn ideas, gathered into one place.

Grandpa always started his letters with “Dear ___,” so we’re doing the same.

Manhasset, New York

Dear reader,

This website tells a story that my grandfather told over the years. It is filled with his class news, his bad puns, his good arguments, some stray clippings, some goodbye notes, and the little lines that somehow sound like him before you even finish reading them.

The originals are still the originals, from a true Original. I just gave them a new digital home.

Made with love by your grandson Jacob
