Happy birthday, Dennis Brack
Here’s wishing the happiest of VizEds birthdays today to Dennis Brack, Deputy Assistant Managing Editor for News Art at The Washington Post.
I first met Dennis when he was still a student at Northwestern University. I ran into him at the Poynter Institute in April 1994. I’ve embarrassed him several times over the years retelling that story, over and over.
So I thought I’d surprise and delight him today by not telling it.
A few samples of Denny’s work:

Read a Q&A with Dennis posted last fall at the Washington Post web site.
Dennis shares a birthday with actors Nicole Kidman, John Goodman and Errol Flynn, World War II hero Audie Murphy, musicians Lionel Richie and Chet Atkins and my very favorite musician Brian Wilson. Can you believe the leader of the Beach Boys turns 66 today?
Plus, today is Ice Cream Soda Day. Seriously.
So punch up Pet Sounds on the iPod and kick back with an ice cream soda today, Denny, and have a fabulous birthday!
