Three students in the San Francisco area have been awarded $10,000 scholarships thanks to the generosity of the Steve Silver Foundation. And while I’m quite proud of these youngsters for their achievement, I regret to say that I have nothing whatsoever to do with the this; the foundation was in fact created by the family of the late playwright Steve Silver, who wrote the musical “Beach Blanket Babylon.” I might have to go see that on my trip out to San Fran in August.
This also means that whenever I start my own foundation, I’ll need to think of another name, since “Steve Silver Foundation” is already taken.
