“He did not plan, He merely let himself go and the overwhelming life in him did the rest. It is only when youth is gone and experience gives us a sort of cheap courage that most of us realize how simple things are.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald

Author, Mark Kurlansky, called 1968 the year that rocked the world. And it was. Bobby Kennedy was assasinated. So was Martin Luther King. There were riots in Chicago. Prague Spring happened. So did the Tet Offensive.

And, oh by the way, a guy by the name of Jack Connors along with Jay Hill, Steve Cosmopulos and Alan Holliday started Hill Holliday Connors & Cosmopulos. And now, 38 years later, Jack is finally stepping down. He will be sorely missed around here.

Yesterday, Hill Holliday celebrated its 38th anniversary at New Seabury on Cape Cod. The highlight was a tribute to Jack produced by Lisa Belden in association with Magic Box Films and edited by Joel Walker. Here it is. If you don’t know Jack Connors, take a look. You’ll begin to understand.
