Highlights: July 2023

1. The 25th anniversary of the press release announcing a new Silicon Valley office for Wall Street Communications, the founding agency of Dundee Hills Group, passed quietly on July 8. It might have passed unnoticed altogether had I not been rearranging the contents of some three-ring binders in the hope of finding a new home for my collection of chicken recipes, which for personal reasons are taking a hiatus.

It was my thought to scan in all the random items in this particular binder so the originals could be recycled and the sheet protectors now protecting them put to use as protection for non-chicken recipes. But I hesitate; the Wall Street Communications letterhead is printed on such lovely textured paper. If the original is discarded, subsequent generations will find it hard to believe what nice stationery we had 25 years ago and how pleasant it was to hold a sheet of it in one's hand.
