Richard Martini
Richard Martini (DGE’75, CAS’78) of Santa Monica, Calif., writes to say, “For all you DGE folks out there, I made a short film about Julian Baird’s birthday party and posted it on YouTube. For those who remember, he ran the humanities program at DGE and came to BU via his scholarships at Oxford and Harvard. I tracked him down on Cape Cod, and when he invited me to this birthday bash, I offered to film it.” (Find the film by searching “A Portrait of Julian Baird” on YouTube.) Richard is the author of Flipside: A Tourist’s Guide on How to Navigate the Afterlife (Homina Publishing, 2011), which he notes has twice been in the top spot on Amazon in its genres, and a new book, It’s a Wonderful Afterlife (Homina Publishing, 2014).
