Bruce Alexander: In the course
of having to work, he has promoted hotel chains like Sonesta,
Hilton, Sheraton and Dunfey, dozens of restaurants, Virginia
Slims (the weed for women) and the Tobacco Institute (the lobby
for weeds) only because they paid him an obscene fee back then
(he does not smoke cigs, but he is for sale) and other accounts
including AVON Products and the Wildweeds, a now-defunct rock
band, just to keep the world on their toes and tuned-in.
The Hartford Courant saluted his letters to the editor writing
prowess ("for letters selected by a panel of judges as being
the year's best -- in terms of writing, timeliness and a fresh
viewpoint") and they presented him with a golden desk pen
and some kind of acrylic thing with their logo on it.
So he sells products and pushes news directors to run stories
about his clients, has designed packaging, developed new products,
increased some companies sales volumes 30 to 35% per year, and
got some citations for public speaking. He was hired to run a
23 nation European water skiing event on the Black Sea in Soviet
Georgia--until Gorbachev moved an army into the region, quelling
(unsuccessfully, as it turned out) a rebellion against Communist
rule ("Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall !") which
in the process killed off any sporting events dependent upon
tourism. ("Mr. Reagan, chill that rhetoric 'til BHA pulls
off this event!")
A world traveler, he rates southern Thailand's food/people/beaches
as the "el primo", and then the sleazy gambling in
Macau as number two, and he often goes to Scotland to wield brassie,
niblick and lofter over their links. The Hartford Marathon Foundation
recently presented him with an authentic St. Andrews mashie for
volunteer work he has done for the Aetna US Healthcare Greater
Hartford Marathon over the past several years.
He's traveled to Africa, China, most of Europe, Mexico, all
50 US states, Central America, Caribbean islands (Port au Prince
is particularly low life but is fabulous too--great art and fine
music), India, and let us all share his hope that Fidel Castro
and the US State Department will sanction his run to Havana before
the American capitalists get their mitts on it and turn it into
Disneyland. (post-Generalissimo, of course) The southern Venezuelan
rain forest needs a visit soon, as well.
His email name: realbha. BHA is also used to describe a food
additive. However, Bruce continues to believe he is the real
BHA.
