from Jordan Rich, WBZ Radio Boston
Jordan Rich, host of The Jordan Rich Show on CBS Radio station WBZ in Boston, has posted an open letter to his son Andrew on the occasion of Andrew’s 18th birthday. It is warm, and comfortable, and full of love and fatherly advice. It is straightforward and without the slightest hint of pomp or judgment. It’s what a letter from a loving father should be. Read it and take note, should you have need to pen a similar dispatch in the future.
Note: Jordan was gracious enough to invite me on his show in September, after the publication of Dear Austin. That interview is posted and can be heard on this site.

Hometown News Includes Dear Austin
in Annual Special
The Azle News, a small regional newspaper in the Dallas/Fort Worth area of North Central Texas, published its 20th Annual Celebration of the Art and Artists in our Community on November 11, 2010. Included in this annual special section on the arts is a generous article by Carolea Hassard about Dear Austin – A Letter To My Son.
I’m grateful to Bob Buckel, publisher of The Azle News, and to Carolea Hassard, writer/reporter for including me along with dozens of talented artists, writers, and performers who live in and around Azle, Texas. While I grew up in Azle, graduated from high school there, and still have close friends and family in the area, I haven’t actually lived there for many years. So it was particularly kind of them to allow me to be counted among all these wonderful Azle artists.
Most visitors to this site will not have had access to this regional publication so I have posted the article, including the photographs, here on this site. Or click the image above to see a scanned image of the original article.

I just want to say hello, and welcome, to all of you who are a part of the Cleveland SAS fund raiser. I had a wonderful evening speaking to the SAS meeting tonight. It was a great group, almost an even mix of parents and students, and a good discussion broke out after I babbled for about 30 minutes. Thanks for allowing me to participate in your meeting. It was an honor to be invited.
Thanks also for being here, and for participating in the promotion to help your SAS program at Cleveland. I hope it’s a huge success. Spread the word. Please feel free to click on the “comments” link above to leave your thoughts, or use the Contact page. I’m always happy to get feedback on the fund raiser, the book, or just your feelings on any topic related to parenting teenagers, or the discussion earlier this evening.
Please browse the site, leave your comments, and come back often to keep the discussions going.
