Today on Good Morning America, I saw a segment about yet another video that’s gone viral. This one encourages Super Bowl visitors to bring their “coats, hats and gloves” to Sunday’s game and was created by students at the Franklin Middle School in Minneapolis.

Suddenly I had a flashback to the 80’s when I saw a newspaper ad that blew my mind 🤯.

At the time I was a fine arts major.
I’d never seen an ad award show book.
I’d never been to Minneapolis.
And I’d certainly never heard of Ron Anderson, Nancy Rice, or Tom McElligott.

Yet that ad in the Travel section of the Chicago Tribune made such an impression on me, not only did I cut it out and save it (in my ‘morgue’), I soon did something which surprised family and friends.

I switched majors.
