By Carolyn Worthington, publisher: What an honor it is to be featured in the launch of TomDryden.com and his moving post, “Letters to Live By.”
As Tom shared in his post, my husband David and I first met Tom and his wife through our kids, who were in nursery school together. I remember standing in line with the other parents, overhearing Tom telling one of his trademark hilarious stories. I turned around and thought, Who is this guy? From that moment on, we became fast friends — and I’ve been laughing ever since.
In the early days of building the Healthy Aging® multi-media platform, David and I developed a national initiative in partnership in 1996 with the U.S. Postal Service. The centerpiece was the Healthy Aging® Letter-writing Contest, which invited Americans 50 and over to share their hard-earned wisdom on growing older.
We reached out to Tom, who not only had a successful advertising agency but was also a brilliant writer and contest creator. We knew he was the perfect person to help us bring the campaign to life — and he exceeded every expectation. Here's more about it (too long to post here!) https://tinyurl.com/y6mwkrjn
