Tony Waag, Director, American Tap Dance Foundation

Harvey was on our board of directors back when we had only a small circle of supporters. Harvey spent years trying to convince us that we needed to offer children's tap classes as a sustainable income source for our organization. When we finally agreed to give his idea a try, we lacked the money to get it started. So Harvey just wrote us a $5000 check for seed money. Many years later, we now offer classes to as many as hundreds of students a month and Harvey's vision provides the sustenance that has largely enabled us to weather two recessions. (As a side note, Harvey donated his time to build our new website and saved us thousands of dollars.) If you are lucky enough to have an opportunity to work with Harvey, you should definitely jump at the chance.
