Nice short list today. There’s really no contest. I’m interested to learn that Today’s Winner attended the legendary High School for the Performing Arts. For many years, I worked very close to that school. I always wondered about the dynamic between that school, and the standard-issue public high school directly across the street. I wonder how many members of the LaGuardia Class of 1988 thought they’d be on this list someday, and, of those, how many actually are. Fervent dreams fade, contort, and deepen into this peculiar thing we call real life.
