The Taylor boys insisted on a photo with Stan Grossfeld (photo by Me)
In an effort to not inundate you all with too many posts at the same time, I have the post for today timestamped to publish at different intervals during the day. As I promised, Taylorpalooza!
I made a promise on Friday night that I was more than happy to keep. I didn’t want to risk writing about the Taylors here and having another writer “scoop” Stan Grossfeld from the Boston Globe. Stan spent the day with us on Friday and was absolutely wonderful (you’ll read more about Stan in both Tru’s and my recollections of the day later today). He also had space promised for the story about the Taylors in Wednesday’s Globe (changed, during the week, to Thursday’s edition). Anyone publishing the story could have messed with that happening and I told Stan I didn’t want to be the one to cause his story to get the ax. So I waited. I really appreciate how patient you’ve all been! (I should note that Stan never once asked me to NOT write about the evening. It wasn’t his idea to hold off, it was mine.)
Stan does such a terrific job of capturing the day and he also gives you an amazing look into my friend Tru…aka Tom Nardozzi. Tru won’t tell you this, but he busted his butt to get this all done, with no reward but the thanks of the Taylors (which, you’ll find out later this morning, was more than enough for him) and this beautifully written piece by Stan. I’m extremely proud to call him my friend.
So, I’m going to do something I almost never do – tell you to go read the Boston Globe (or boston.com)! Stan’s story is here and it really is worth reading.
(Edited to add a link to the photos Stan took!)
