Stanley E. Cohen
Now into the unknown
When you do your job well
The sky is the limit
He went to AdAge from Broadcasting magazine
The year was nineteen hundred and forty three
From Cornell and Columbia a recent grad
The job interview with AdAge was the last he ever had
He never bought any paper because he was so cheap
He'd write and mail stories on the back of Western Union sheets
Never swayed by his peers opinions
He was a man with a mission
And that's what people will remember him for
