Well, those of you that know our dear friend Dennis Shulman know that he can accomplish absolutely anything that he sets his mind to. And so there we were in Freeport Maine this past summer, a group of us known (at least to ourselves) as "the Worcester boys", all of whom have known each other for most of our lives, shootin' the breeze with the old friends, when Dennis announces that he'd been thinking of running for Congress in his home district (5th Congressional District) of NJ. Dennis, renowned Harvard-educated clinic psychologist, teacher, lecturer, author, father and husband, who only a few years ago added ordained rabbi to his list of "things I want to do" (and did), actually decides to go for it. And now, sure to be the Democratic nominee in the Fall election, Dennis is gearing up for all that's involved and so are we, his old buddies. With the excitement level building I was invited to join Dennis and his staff yesterday for a day of promo photography on location at his home and throughout the district. And to spend a day with Dennis is to spend a day inspired by the man, by his energy, his intelligence, his extraordinary sense of humor and absolute "joie de vie", which he easily spreads to everyone that he meets, young and old. Truly something amazing to witness. Oh yeh, almost forgot, for those that don't personally know Dennis, he's been blind since elementary school. And he plays a mean "drum".
