I don't think you were paying attention.

John posted a link to Les Goldmans bio from his high school 50 year reunion recently... I think this is very meaningful...note, emphasis mine...

Goldman, Les

7 years at the University of Michigan Undergraduate and Law Schools. English major in undergrad in tribute to Mrs. Annan. Met Sue from Winnetka, my beautiful wife of 43 years, in Ann Arbor. 2 kids. Evan, 26, writes film scores in LA (latest effort part of Fast and Furious 6). Scott, 31, is a Captain in the US Army JAG Corps stationed in Afghanistan. Wants to come home and run for Congress in Baltimore.

I came to Washington right out of law school with Adlai Stevenson when he was elected to the US Senate in 1970. Served as Chief Counsel to the Senate Energy Committee from 72 to 76. Helped Carter and Jim Schlesinger create the Dept of Energy and served as Asst Secy For International Affairs from 78 to 81. Upon Carter's predictable defeat in 80, joined the Washington office of a then small NY law firm called Skadden Arps, and helped build a major energy practice over the next 30 years. During this period I worked on the Presidential campaign staffs of Clinton and Kerry. Can't win em all, but John is a great guy. Also produced a couple Broadway plays, including one nominated for the Tony for best new play. We lost that one too. Richard Petty, the NASCAR legend, remains my favorite client to this day.

Retired from my partnership 2 years ago to help a friend bring to market a new drug for all solid tumor cancers that adds years of survival with no toxic side effects at much lower cost than chemo. It re-educates a patient's own immune system to attack its specific cancer, and the entire treatment consists of 11 flu-like shots in the upper arm over three years. Now in late stage trials in the US and Europe on multiple cancers, the results are stunning and we expect volume use as early as later next year. You will be hearing more about the DCVax (brand name) cancer vaccine. It really works, and it is the most rewarding work I have done in a somewhat eclectic carreer since leaving the hallowed halls of South Shore.

Time sure flys when you are having a good time. What a wonderful trip down memory lane this reunion will be. And many thanks and kudos to the organizers. Email: [e-mail]

The most meaningful work he has done since high school and he has worked with Presidents. Maybe its just me, but I thought this was quite impressive.
