Bruce Ascher
I came into New York City last week for a couple of days and was staying with friends on the UWS. So I'm walkin' up Broadway at about 104th St. and I hear my name being called. It turned out to my a former employee of mine, Bruce Ascher!
(Before I was head of MIS, I ran Print Production and Bruce and Peter Franke and John Doepp worked for me.)
Bruce is still in Print Production and is now working for a new start-up ad agency called Republic.
He busted my chops about when I was interviewing for his position and I must have told Peter Franke that Bruce had a "Jew-fro." Sigh. You could say things like in those days and get away with it. I hired him despite his hair and he turned out to be a great addition to the department.
