Dear Jeff:

A truly great acting legend died recently in New Jersey actor & Rutgers University graduate James Gandolfini. Who of course played mob boss Tony Soprano on Home Box Office's (HBO's) "The Sopranos" & many other fine roles.

"To us he's best known as a loyal son of Rutgers and a graduate of the class of MCMLXXXIII (1983) who has been continuously and deeply involved with this institution throughout his all too short life. He came to Rutgers, as did his two older sisters. He went onto a spectacular career, but never forgot his roots here - never turned down a phone call or a request to be a supporter of Rutgers."

"Mama Always Said You'd Be The Chosen One",

Rory
