Larry Wilson's Extensive Marketing Career Prepared Him Uniquely For The American Baptist Foundation

Larry Wilson and I go back a LONG time.

We both earned our MBA from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1975. We worked closely on a huge theater production in the Harold Prince Theatre of the Annenberg Center on the University of Pennsylvania campus and the great Broadway Producer-Director, Harold Prince, came to one of our rehearsals and spoke to the cast after.

The production was Company, by Stephen Sondheim and George Furth, which Harold Prince had directed on Broadway. It was being produced and directed by me with Larry as Music Director and Conductor in the Harold Prince Theatre – and it was the first of the many shows he produced on Broadway that was presented in the theatre bearing his name.

Larry and I took two very different paths after Wharton, but always stayed in close contact. He played the organ at my wedding to Pam and sang a song from the piano in the sanctuary. I have been to his home on several occasions and followed his business career with great interest.

With Larry now in the Philadelphia, PA USA area (as I am) we see much more of each other. And when he had a need for a new electronic marketing campaign, he called me for advice and then hired me to consult with him and his board.

Here is Larry in a relaxed way talking about the exciting career he has had. We will be certain to do this again so that he can speak much more in depth about all the great things the American Baptist Foundation is doing under his leadership as President.
