I am honored to win the 2016 Community Media Rika Welch leadership award for community impact; a testimony to the Guests who shared their stories on MidLIFE Matters. In addition, an 2018 interview I did with Judith Altmann, a Holocaust Survivor, won an award. In 2020 and 2021 two other awards acknowledged the content of interviews dealing with Child Sex Trafficking in CT and Non-Profit leadership. In 2023 MidLIFE Matters won First Place for a Profile Talk Show.Friday

Shoot for the Moon, Land on a Star
Friday, July 30, 2010 at 08:17PM If a Kaplan learning center helped you become the star you are today, be grateful Stanley Kaplan was rejected from medical school. His "Plan B" ultimately spawned over 100 test-prep centers in the US. Perhaps his success started with his job at age 14, tutoring others for 25 cents an hour. Like other start-ups of lore, he launched his company from his parents' home -- in 1938. He and his wife also established a foundation for a range of causes, including, of course, education. He died at age 90 in 2009. So stop staring at that closed door, and get going! Source: USA Today, 8/25/09.
