My dear friend Norm Stahl, who taught me The Foolscap Method passed away this year at the age of 91. Norm never missed a beat. He never just talked about thing, but did them.
A little of Norm’s background. Norm’s moved from junior copywriter to the senior executive of BBDO and Ted Bates Worldwide Advertising, where for many years he guided creative direction companies like Colgate Palmolive and Pepsi Cola. Along the line he managed to earn a private pilot’s license and author or co-author several fiction and non-fiction books, His loved golf, art, and travel. He was a great friend and a great man. I will miss him.
If The Foolscap Method has brought you any kind of knowledge or helped you in some way, give a nod to Norm, wherever he is.
