MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA. After a week since open heart surgery, Eric Schneider reports a growing interest in returning to his publishing duties. Schneider, who will be 70 on May 10, expects to improve his life quality with the operation. He hopes to see many of you in Como, Italy, for Proposte. He also has plans for birthday celebrations in Italy and New York. On May 11, Schneider will announce the creation of the Harry B. Schneider Track and Field Endowment Fund at the NYU Torch Club, 12:30 luncheon. Those interested in attending should contact him at Eric@Sipco.net. Harry, Eric’s father, was a world-class athlete from 1928 to 1931. He was a track coach and mentor to many high school students who grew up in the ghettos of the Bronx, New York. Eric says there is more to come in his life. He cherishes the industry and his family, especially his wife Gail, and his seven grandchildren.
