Mindy Mignanelli
And here is the lovely Mindy Mignanelli. She worked as an AE on the Nissan account and was at C/D LA from the Biltmore years, to the warehouse, to the binocular building. We both agreed we liked the warehouse best.
She is a sales manager at the Fairmont Orchid on the Kona Coast, where I am currently staying with my nephew and his wife.
Tom keeps himself busy through a variety of volunteer projects, including reading with kids in fourth grade.
They have found their paradise!

Kelsey Grammer and Jay
Someone found this undated reference to a lawsuit involving Kelsey Grammer (of "Frasier" fame) and a real estate broker which tangentially involved Jay ...
Kelsey Grammer filed a lawsuit against Hamptons real estate broker Bettie Wysor of Dunemere Real Estate who put him and his wife next door to a construction site. The couple rented a mansion next door to advertising executive Jay Chiat in the summer of 1998. Kelsey was uninformed of Jay Chiat's extensive renovation, and was suing Wysor for $100,000 for failing to warn him but Wysor sayd that work on Chiat's house was finished by the time the Grammers moved in. She claimed the couple only used their place for three of the four weeks they'd rented it for, and never complained to her about anything.
My birthday bash in Portland
I will be celebrating my 60th birthday on March 11th in Seattle, but first there was a pre-birthday party in Portland, hosted by some good friends from high school. Two attendees? The irrepressible Melanie (Axtman) Steinbach and Lori Bennett Gaffney. I swear to god they do not look any different from when I worked with them at Chiat/Day.
