CPD

Remembering President Jimmy Carter, a CPD honorary co-chair, with gratitude. The late president is seen here with his fellow CPD honorary co-chair, Gerald R. Ford, at the @UMich in 1985 during one of their post-presidential appearances –– the two collaborated on more than 25 projects, which included joint speaking engagements in twelve cities. @CarterLibrary

In memoriam: Notre Dame Trustee Newton Minow news.nd.edu/news/in-memori…

Newt Minow was a dear friend, mentor and early supporter of mine. He also embodied the ideal of public service – helping launch the satellites that made nationwide broadcasts possible, cementing presidential debates as a national institution, helping usher in public television, and reminding the media of its obligation to foster a well-informed citizenry. I will always owe a great debt to Newt, most of all because he helped introduce me to Michelle when we were both young lawyers in Chicago. We will miss him dearly, just as we miss his beloved wife, Jo, who passed away last year, and send our love and thoughts to their family.

With deep respect, gratitude and affection. washingtonpost.com/obituaries/202…
