Michael was one of the very good ones. He was the first banker who ever gave me an interview, back when I was a trade-pub reporter who knew literally nothing about M&A.

He had good stories from old Wall Street, and great hair. I’ve missed talking to him over the last few years, and sad that I won’t get to anymore.

Maya Lin @ the Met Gala with her daughter India Lin Wolf (photo by me) I saw many young adult kids in tow. It's one night a child is likely to want to tag along. Stevie Nicks and Sabrina Carpenter performed at the dinner.
