After returning from the 1986 Valley Forge Sons of the Desert convention, I was highly motivated to get started on my own tent newsletter. Rick Greene had delivered a great seminar at the convention, showcasing how to go about creating fun and entertaining newsletters – bringing along examples of his own work. At the time he was the editor of the Intra-Tent Journal, and never after him did it achieve the level of greatness that he attained. My Dad was right there by my side to assist in the creation of our premiere issue.

As a true Seinfeld buff, I relish the opportunity to meet anyone who has ever been associated with the show, no matter how small their roles may have been. The two guys here both had memorable roles of playing bosses to two of the major characters. Richard Herd (seen at right with Jason Alexander) played George’s immediate supervisor when he worked for the New York Yankees in 11 episodes of the show, including the finale. His roles go well beyond his stint on Seinfeld though, as he appeared on many TV shows such as M*A*S*H, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and a major recurring role on T.J. Hooker. Film credits include All the Presidents Men, Private Benjamin, and Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.
