[NU Sports] NU NIGHT IN NYC

[Joe Thiegs]

This must have so much fun.  I would have loved dearly to have been there.
However, I seem to make it out to New York only once every couple of years.
Good for NU, NAA, and NUAE, though!  -Joe

Subject: [NU Sports] NU NIGHT IN NYC


Just wanted everyone on the List to know that last night I attended one of  
the most special alumni events ever held in "The Big Apple".  Our own List  
member (and my friend) Willie Weinbaum was a Co-Producer of "A Toast To The

Past, A Toast To The Future", a "Broadway"-style musical theater review
held at 
the Hudson Theater with a cast of NU luminaries and future stars of  stage, 
screen and TV.  President Bienen was there, as was Dean O'Keefe of  the
School of 
Communications and Richard Dean (former 'Cat defensive back in the  late 
'60's and older brother of Randy Dean, former NU QB and NY Giant backup
QB), who 
is President of the Northwestern Alumni Association, which sponsored  the 
event.  I think it may well have been the most well attended event I  have
ever 
been to in my 30+ years as an alum in NY.  NU has finally  recognized that
the 
"critical mass" of alums in the NY-NJ-CT area has expanded  exponentially in

the last 20 years, and is doing something about it--opening an  Alumni
Office in 
Rockefeller Center.  As a former President of Northwestern  University 
Entertainment Alliance (NUEA) East (a sponsor of the program last  night), I

couldn't be more pleased.  Now if we could only make the "Dance"  just once
in our 
lifetime.....
 
Since Sanford (Sandy) Sacks, former NU football player from the Fifties and

the "Godfather" of NU alumni events in NY, was kidding me all night about my

active participation in the List (He even asked me when I had time to
practice 
 law, since he said I send so many posts.:-)), I couldn't resist the  
opportunity to send this report.
