Sue Collins | scollins@lifestylepubs.com

Happy June, friends IF THERE WAS EVER A MAN WHO MISSED HIS CALLING AS A STAND-UP COMEDIAN, IT WAS MY DAD, LEN. Anyone that knows him, will agree!

I was lucky enough to grow up having the most supportive parents, but my father, the eternal optimist and always there to try to make you laugh, was especially remarkablel.

After my mom’s passing two years ago, my Dad and I made the decision for him to sell their condo in Maryland and move to be near us in Atlanta. My (college-aged) kids and I couldn’t have been happier. After a bit of skepticism, my Dad happily chose a beautiful retirement community about a mile from our home and has been here nearly a year.

He is so happy where he has landed, with new friends, doing daily exercise classes and of course, keeping all the other inmates (as he likes to call them) cracking up, with his jokes and one-liners.

In a few short years, he will be 90 (Dad, sorry for publishing your age, but I am so proud of how spry and together you are), and I am very grateful to be able to spend

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that as a kid growing up I hated all his joking around and kibitzing (as he liked to call it), but now that I am the age I am, I appreciate who he is and all his kidding. Turns out everyone likes him and looks forward to his jokes. Who knew?

WE SAT DOWN (VIRTUALLY, OF COURSE) WITH A FEW MEN IN OUR COMMUNITY WHO WORK TIRELESSLY TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE. 1. Tell us about one or two men who inspired you during your life and career.

2. How do you blow off steam and relax?

3. Volunteering is very important to us. How do you give back your time and/or resources?

4. We pray that by the time this June issue hits mailboxes, we will all be out and about. Where will you go for a special dinner?

Our Four Fathers

1. My dad taught me to work hard but make sure it’s things I enjoy. And to “not take myself too damn seriously”. All great lessons I try to practice every day.

My first real job from graduate school was with Ed Roberts, MD, who is in the Georgia Technology Hall of Fame as the 1975 inventor of an early computer.

Ed was brilliant, curious and optimistic; and believed he could do anything. A refreshing approach.

John Beach, Buckhead Heritage 2. Buckhead has some great parks and trails along the Chattahoochee – I met my wife there in 1986 while fly fishing, when our dogs started playing.

We take our two pointers out weekly, and one is an award-winning frisbee competitor. I also play tennis, sculpt, and do some writing, so there’s always more to do than time to do it.

3. I have a lifelong interest in history, architecture and historic preservation. Being able to help preservation groups like Buckhead Heritage with my time and support is not really giving back to me – I get so much from members and other volunteers in return.

I’ve also done some writing and teaching, and you learn so much, it’s incredibly rewarding.

4. Portofino, Le Colonial, Bilboquet and F & B, among others, miss us, and we them.

INSPIRED BY (CONTINUED)

Kenneth Braswell, Fathers Incorporated 1. I was inspired by two men who help develop both my awareness of my gifts and responsibility to serve. Dr. Jack Conway was my boss in my early professional years and a cultural anthropologist. He helped me understand the importance of being aware of my history and worth in society.

He also inspired my love for writing. Art Mitchell was a jack of all trades. He pushed me in my early years to exceed in excellence and pushing all of my gifts to the limits.

2. During this time most of my relaxation is engaging in my creativity of writing. I just completed a children’s graphic novel and beginning to prepare it in the hopes of finding a publisher. It would be my 5th children’s book. Outside of that, binge-watching Cheers, Seinfeld and The Office for the hundredth time.

3. My entire life is consumed by trying to engage in ways to give back, not only to communities in need but lately on mentoring young people of color in building their organizations and business. My wife and I just completed a certification in becoming Master Life Coaches and plan to use that in helping individuals in the areas of fatherhood, family, finances and legacy building through entrepreneurship.

4. I and my family are looking forward to having a nice, big juicy steak. It will be hard to choose from because we all have our different favorites. My children love Outback, my wife enjoys McKendrick and while I like them both, I’m looking forward to finally Fathers Unite 20

hand-tailored clothing from Barba and Castangia mixed with popular lines such as Peter Millar, johnnie – O, Faherty, Hickey Freeman and Samuelsohn. Though you may find those brands elsewhere, we buy them differently offering a merchandise mix unlike any other. We were especially excited about what we assembled for our clients this season and created our most comprehensive mailer of events themed “Spring is coming to Atlanta – Dress for the Occasion”. Oh the irony!

What do you do? You reflect, adapt, evolve, and make the best of the circumstances. We stepped up our social media game having fun with a clothing-related Throw Back series with old family photos on Instagram, improved our website and added an e-commerce platform which is growing daily. Our customers received notifications that we were still here for them and could be reached by phone, text or email at any time. We continued to clean, sanitize, disinfect and follow social distancing guidelines offering private appointments providing masks handmade by our tailors.

FaceTime appointments proved to be very productive and we were able to generate a little business with complimentary shipping, local delivery and curbside pickup all part of the service. Though most of what we offer is not considered essential birthdays, anniversaries,graduation gift buying did not cease and some just needed a little safe “retail therapy”.

Postponed

weddings,

graduations,

interviews and other special events will be rescheduled in most cases and Miller Brothers will still be ready to dress Atlanta’s men for the occasion. In addition to all the wardrobe basics we have an amazing selection of sport coats in lightweight silk, wool and linen blend fabrics. Paired with summer weight gabardine trousers, dress shirts from Eton, Stenstroms, Emanuel Berg or our Private Label collection and it all starts to come together. Our collection of colorful neckwear will actually make many men want to put on a tie and a pocket square from the best collection in town is a must.

For those less formal occasions, we have casual trousers in washed cotton twills, wool/linen blends form PT Torino, Incotex, Peter Millar Collection and others and our Five-Pocket selection is tremendous.

Sport shirts in classic seersucker checks, washed linens, cottons and performance fabrics to printed patterns and always something unexpected. Our neon pink heavy oxford cloth shirt from Hamilton is not for the faint of heart. For those not afraid of a little color our knit shirt collection is a must-see with unique color tones in cotton, linen, and performance fabrics too. Warmer weather means shorts and swim trunks need to be updated. We have all the basics but plenty more to catch your interest like an old school washed cotton plaid and “all day” shorts made of quickdry material you can swim in too.

I’ve barely scratched the surface but must also mention our “Great Wall of Shoes”. It is expansive and diverse with classic loafers and lace-ups but so much more. Vibrant green suede casual loafers from Santoni, tan distressed suede rubber-soled casual wingtips from Di Bianco, and Chukka sneaker-boots from ToBoot. driving shoes, sneakers from G. Brown and SeaVees (think Sperry designed by Jeff Spicoli), boat shoes and flip flops from Peter Millar and Martin Dingman too. Of course, we have a belt or three to go with all of them.

We planned one heck of a party and so many were unable to attend so we shall try again!

Until then be safe and stay well.

GIVING BACK

WHERE IDEAS ARE BORN ARTICLE SUE G. COLLINS PHOTOGRAPHY GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY

SAM MASSELL BELIEVES IN PRINT MEDIA. He reads three dozen periodicals regularly, including this very magazine. He pours over news specific to his beloved Buckhead, the 28-mile district whose growth he has helmed for 32 years as founder and president of the Buckhead Coalition.

This select group of 100 CEOs is a nonprofit civic association that spearheads and funds projects that make Buckhead safer and more vibrant. Projects like the 80 portable defibrillator trauma kits purchased and stationed throughout Buckhead, poised to save lives.

Massell says he read about this initiative in one of the newsletters he peruses. He is the first to admit that many of the ideas that he comes up with have been “borrowed” from these valuable sources and other municipalities. (His wife, Sandra, asked Sam to say “borrowed” rather than “stole ideas” - one of her many positive influences, he says.)

“There might not be many new ideas in the world, but there are so many that we haven’t tried here,” he said in a phone interview last month from the home he and Sandra share in Buckhead. He’s been nudged into a retirement dress rehearsal there during the pandemic, his full-time reign at the Buckhead Coalition transitioning to a consultancy at the end of this month.

Our conversation never strayed far from ideas.

“If I pick up one idea a month, that’s wonderful - a dozen ideas a year from other people’s experience. And, borrowing one here, sharing one there can be very beneficial to all involved.”

He’s seen more than his share over his rich lifetime in Atlanta, from his first lightbulb moment as a young boy in Druid Hills, building a pop-up iced Coca-Cola stand serving commuters on busy N. Decatur Road to introducing racial diversity in the city’s government as Atlanta’s first Jewish mayor. He and his administration appointed the first African Americans to offices of influence, and the first woman to Atlanta’s city council.

SAM MASSELL EASES INTO RETIREMENT

Author Charles McNair was tapped to write Sam’s story, “Play it Again, Sam. The Notable Life of Sam Massell, Atlanta’s First Minority Mayor.” In the very readable hardcover, McNair chronicles all “four careers, and then some, in the life of one of Atlanta’s most important figures, living or dead.”

Besides his youthful entrepreneurial sprint as Buddy Massell, Sam had four successful careers - real estate, politics, tourism and association management. McNair finds a common thread. “Some events will demonstrate how he might deservedly have been nicknamed ‘Serendipity Sam’ for an uncanny ability to be in the right place at the right time with the right ideas,” McNair writes. I think his success was about bravado, know-how and yes, ideas.

He “force feeds” attendees at the Buckhead Coalition’s annual luncheon, a grey suit-studded affair where he and his staff meticulously curate a seating chart so every table has a healthy mix of business members, press, educators, public servants and elected officials. They share conversations, commiserations and opinions from different perspectives over lunch with a speaker (Ted Turner, Gov. Brian Kemp, Mayors Kasim Reid and Keisha Lance Bottoms), and a bit of business which Sam firmly brings to a close at 1PM so the captains of industry can get back to their desks.

For 2020, Sam hopes the Coalition will continue an appeal to brick and mortar bank buildings to offer up office space to young and underfunded nonprofit groups.

“Nonprofits are like supplements to government, providing so many necessary services, touching so many lives.”

Just another borrowed idea that Sam turned into progress.
