Ashley Bonheur of Island Park, NY Honored by Randy Narod,
President of Cambridge Who's Who and Owner of Island Park’s Da Vinci’s Restaurant,
as Recipient of the Cambridge Who's Who Future Leaders Award
Uniondale, NY, September 7, 2007—Randy Narod, president of
Cambridge Who's Who, and owner of Da Vinci’s Restaurant in Island Park, is pleased
to announce that Ashley Bonheur of Island Park is the recipient of a Cambridge Who's
Who Future Leaders Award, which includes a $1,000 scholarship. Bonheur received the
award at the senior awards assembly at West Hempstead High School, from which she
graduated in 2007.
Randy Narod says, "Cambridge Who's Who members are distinguished leaders in
business, entrepreneurship and the professions, so it’s fitting that Cambridge Who's Who
honors high school seniors who promise to become leaders of their generation.";
Cambridge Who's Who called for essays from seniors at West Hempstead High
School, as well as several other high schools on Long Island, where Cambridge Who's
Who is headquartered. Cambridge asked students to describe attributes of leaders,
demonstrate their leadership qualities and identify an individual who epitomizes
leadership.
In her essay, Bonheur quotes Rosalynn Carter as saying, “A leader takes people
where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don’t necessarily want to
go but ought to be.” Bonheur goes on to cite two students who were an inspiration to her
in becoming a leader at West Hempstead High School and throughout her
community.
Randy Narod observes, “In addition to being a high-achieving student, Ashley is a
real leader. She has been president of the local chapter of S.A.D.D., vice president of
Athletes Helping Athletes and treasurer of the Key Club. She was also a softball team
captain and captain of the West Hempstead Relay for Life, a fundraising walk benefiting
the American Cancer Society.”
Narod says, “Ashley clearly has leadership attributes and promises to accomplish
great things in her career. Cambridge Who's Who is pleased to contribute to her success
with the Future Leaders Scholarship.”

Rachael Goldberg Receives Cambridge Who's Who Future Leaders
Award from Randy Narod, President of Cambridge Who's Who and Owner of Long
Beach Bagel Café
Uniondale, NY, August 25, 2007—Randy Narod, president of Cambridge Who's
Who among Executives, Professionals and Entrepreneurs and owner of Long Beach
Bagel Café, is pleased to announce that Rachael Goldberg of Long Beach, NY is the
recipient of a Cambridge Who's Who Future Leaders Award, including a $1,000
scholarship.
Cambridge Who's Who called for essays at Long Beach High School and other high
schools on Long Island, where Cambridge Who's Who is headquartered. Cambridge
asked students to describe leadership attributes, demonstrate their leadership qualities
and identify an individual who epitomizes leadership.
The Cambridge Who's Who Scholarship Committee selected Goldberg’s essay, in
which she says, “Anyone is capable of being a leader. What sets real leaders apart is the
willingness to put yourself out there.” Goldberg plans a career as a spokesperson or
lobbyist for a genetic research facility or special needs advocacy. She says, “My mission
is to promote genetic research and improve the welfare of the mentally ill.”
As Goldberg points out, “I’m not just dreaming—I’ve already taken actions as a
leader. I’ve been part of my high school’s Emerging Leaders Program, working to
improve relations between students and the administration.” She also earned an AP
Scholar Award and Model Congress speaking awards, signaling her capabilities as a
spokesperson.
In accepting the Cambridge Who's Who Scholarship, Goldberg thanked Narod and
said she is encouraged “that my efforts have brought me in the right direction.” Goldberg
will attend the University of Miami, majoring in political science and psychology. She will
minor in genetics, philosophy, ethics or creative writing, which shows her creativity in
formulating a degree to help her accomplish her goals.
Randy Narod says, “Rachael has already shown she is a leader, and we believe she
will accomplish great things. Cambridge Who's Who is pleased to support Rachael’s
goals, and I look forward to welcoming Rachael as a full-fledged member of Cambridge
Who's Who. Since we recognize leaders in business, entrepreneurship and the
professions, it’s fitting that we recognize accomplished students like Rachael who will
become their generation’s leaders.”
Jasmie Graham earned an honorable mention for her essay, in which she identifies
Rosa Parks as the epitome of leadership. Jasmie writes, Parks “stood up (by sitting
down) for what she believed in. She helped to start a movement that made a positive
difference in the world.”
Randy Narod points out, “Jasmie plans to become an educator so that she can meet
her goal of changing the lives of children for the better. She has an excellent start with her
involvement in the Long Beach Martin Luther King Community Center Youth Council,
where she helped plan activities for youth in the community. Jasmie is well on her way to
becoming a leader of Cambridge Who's Who caliber.”

Randy Narod, Owner of Glen Cove Bagel Café and President of
Cambridge Who's Who, Selects Austin Fender of Glen Cove for Cambridge Who's
Who Future Leaders Award
Uniondale, N.Y., July xx, 2007— Randy Narod, president of Cambridge Who's
Who among Executives, Professionals and Entrepreneurs and owner of Glen Cove Bagel
Café, is pleased to announce that Austin Fender of Glen Cove, NY, has received a
Cambridge Who's Who Future Leaders Award, which includes a $1,000
scholarship.
Randy Narod says, “The members of Cambridge Who's Who are distinguished
leaders in business, entrepreneurship and the professions, so it’s fitting that Cambridge
Who's Who honors high school seniors who promise to become their generation’s
leaders.”
Cambridge Who's Who called for essays from seniors at Glen Cove High School as
well as other high schools on Long Island, where Cambridge Who's Who is
headquartered. Cambridge asked students to describe attributes of leaders, demonstrate
their leadership qualities and identify an individual who epitomizes leadership.
Fender extols Martin Luther King’s leadership, and observes that leaders should be
measured by the confidence they display in their followers rather than their own
self-confidence. Fender says, “The mark of authentic leaders is that they spark a deep
passion in others that causes them to become leaders.”
As captain of the Glen Cove wrestling team, Fender applied these principles in his
own life. At first, the prospect of being the team’s leader seemed daunting. But Fender
realized he was responsible for bringing a winning outlook to the team. He believes he
succeeded, since he saw his teammates grow into leaders who can take his place when
he goes on to college.
Fender plans to attend the University of Wisconsin in Madison. While he has not
settled on a career path, he knows that whatever he does, if a leader is needed, he will be
“completely ready and willing to accept the challenge.” Randy Narod says, “As an
honorary member of Cambridge Who's Who among Executives, Professionals and
Entrepreneurs, Austin will be featured in the honors edition of the Cambridge Who's
Who Registry, where he will have access to a robust network of leaders in many
fields.”
Michael Ding, who earned an honorable mention, makes the point that “Leaders are
not only measured by their individual capabilities, but also defined by their enthusiasm,
initiative and ability to win the support of others.”
Randy Narod says, “Michael aspires to be a leading researcher in a medical team.
His many scientific awards tell me that he will succeed in that goal, and that he will soon
deserve a place among the thousands of medical professionals in Cambridge Who's
Who."

Randy Narod, Owner of Oceanside Bagel Café and President of
Cambridge Who's Who, Honors Jennifer Schindler with the Cambridge Who's Who
Future Leaders Award
Uniondale, NY, July xx, 2007—Randy Narod, president of Cambridge Who's Who
among Executives, Professionals and Entrepreneurs and the owner of Oceanside Bagel
Café, is pleased to announce that Jennifer Schindler of Oceanside, NY is the recipient of
the Cambridge Who's Who Future Leaders Award, which includes a $1,000
scholarship.
Randy Narod says, "The members of Cambridge Who's Who are distinguished
leaders in business, entrepreneurship and the professions, so it’s fitting that Cambridge
Who's Who honors high school seniors who promise to become leaders of their
generation.”
Cambridge Who's Who called for essays from seniors at Oceanside High School, as
well as several other high schools on Long Island, where Cambridge Who's Who is
headquartered. Cambridge asked students to describe attributes of leaders, demonstrate
their leadership qualities and identify an individual who epitomizes leadership.
Schindler’s essay stood out to the Cambridge Who's Who Scholarship Committee.
Schindler, citing Jane Addams as a leader she admires, says, “A leader possesses big
dreams and doesn’t fear turning them into a reality." Addams, the founder of Hull House,
“gave up a life of luxury and set out to educate, feed and clothe the homeless.” As
Schindler says, Addams’ “work, her dream and her heart touched hundreds of
lives.”
A National Honor Society member who plays the flute and is a vocal soloist,
Schindler’s leadership qualities are evident in her activities. Her intended career in public
health has already resulted in contributions such as her leadership role as secretary of
Students Against Destructive Decisions, where she participated with other Oceanside
High School students in sending out a “Contract for Life” to encourage students and
parents to consider the consequences of driving under the influence. She has also
received awards for her scientific research and interned at a scientific research lab at
Columbia University.
Narod says, “Jennifer clearly has leadership attributes and promises to accomplish
great things in public health. Cambridge Who's Who is pleased to support Jennifer’s
dreams with the Future Leaders Scholarship.”

Aaron Wilson of Hempstead, N.Y. Receives the Cambridge Who's
Who Future Leaders Award
Uniondale, N.Y., July 7, 2007—Randy Narod, president of Cambridge Who's
Who among Executives, Professionals and Entrepreneurs is pleased to announce that
Aaron Wilson of Hempstead, N.Y. is the recipient of a Cambridge Who's Who Future
Leaders Award, which includes a $1,000 scholarship.
Randy Narod says, ";The 200,000 members of Cambridge Who's Who have
demonstrated leadership and achievement in their industry and occupation, so it is fitting
that Cambridge would honor high school seniors who show promise as leaders of their
generation.”
Cambridge Who's Who called for essays from seniors at Uniondale High School as
well as other high schools on Long Island, where Cambridge Who's Who is
headquartered. Cambridge asked students to describe attributes of leaders, demonstrate
their leadership qualities and identify an individual who epitomizes leadership.
While many student essays were impressive, Wilson’s stood out to the Cambridge
Who's Who Scholarship Committee. Wilson cites Oprah Winfrey’s charitable acts as
evidence that “people from humble beginnings can become leaders.” He observes, “To
become a leader one must be persistent, honest, intelligent and unselfish. One must be
able to set their well-being to the side and be strictly concerned with his or her
cause.”
Narod points out that Wilson himself displays leadership qualities. Narod says,
“Among other activities, he chaired the Future Business Leaders of America fundraising
committee and served as vice president of the Literary Arts Club. An accomplished
cellist and section leader in the school orchestra, who also composes music, he has
performed with the New York Virtuosi Chamber Symphony. A National Honor Society
member, he served as a peer tutor in Spanish, the social sciences and mathematics.”
Wilson, named to Who's Who among American High School Students, says his
career goal is to become a marketing executive. As an honorary member of Cambridge
Who's Who among Executives, Professionals and Entrepreneurs, he will be featured in
the honors edition of the Cambridge Who's Who Registry and will have access to a
robust network of Cambridge business professionals.
As Wilson says, “Leaders are influential people who stand out in a crowd.” Narod
says, “By that definition, Aaron Wilson is indeed a fitting recipient of the Cambridge
Who's Who Future Leaders Award.”

E. Dorrit Hoffleit, Ph.D. Remembered by Cambridge Who's Who
for Her Contributions to the Field of Astronomy
NEW YORK-April 19, 2007 - E. Dorrit Hoffleit, Ph.D. (March 12, 1907 - April 9,
2007) was a world-renowned astronomer, and an expert on variable stars, astrometry,
and the history of astronomy. She wrote The Bright Star Catalogue, a compendium of
information on the 9,110 brightest stars in the sky. Now in its fifth revision, her work on
the catalogue remains a valuable reference to astronomers. She also co-authored The
General Catalogue of Trigonometric Stellar Parallaxes, which contains precise distance
measurements to 8,112 stars. In 1988, minor planet 3416 was named "Dorrit" in her
honor.
E. Dorrit Hoffleit began her astronomical career in 1929 as a research assistant at
Harvard University's Observatory and soon became an expert at spectroscopically
determining the absolute brightness of stars. In 1943, she joined the Ballistic Research
Lab at Aberdeen Proving Ground where she computed missile trajectories. In 1956,
after 25 years at Harvard, Dr. Hoffleit went to Yale to run its star cataloging program.
She was also director of the Maria Mitchell Observatory, Nantucket, from 1957-1978.
Under her mentorship, 11 women in the observatory's summer research program went
on to earn doctorate degrees in astronomy, and collectively they discovered over 1,000
new variable stars.
During her career, Hoffleit wrote hundreds of articles on astronomy. In 1988, she
was awarded the George Van Biesbroeck Prize for a lifetime of service to astronomy. In
1993, she was the recipient of the Annenberg Award for Science Education. In 1998,
she was inducted into the Connecticut Women's Hall of Fame.
E. Dorrit Hoffleit received her D.Sc. from Central Connecticut State University
(1998); D.Sc., from Smith College (1984); Ph.D. in astronomy from Radcliffe College
(1938) and her bachelor of arts in mathematics, cum laude, from Radcliffe College
(1928).

Cambridge Who's Who Recognizes Maria Calcagni for Efforts to
Raise Autism Awareness
Autism Speaks Volunteer Leader Works to Resolve Issues
Uniondale, NY, February 12, 2007 – Cambridge Who's Who honors its member
Maria Calcagni, a volunteer leader for Autism Speaks, for her efforts to raise awareness
about autism.
Calcagni appeared on ABC’s The View on January 29, 2007, with her husband and
daughter. That day’s telecast was devoted to autism, which affects 1 of every 150
children, with boys affected more than girls by a 4-to-1 ratio. A neuro-developmental
disorder, autism results in impaired verbal and behavioral functions. Its only treatment is
specialized education that trains the brain to create neural pathways that do not develop
on their own in people with autism. However, educational entitlements end at age 21, and
many people with autism are forced to discontinue education and therefore lose the
independence gained through treatment. Calcagni’s segment on The View focused on
the challenges faced by people with autism who turn 21 and therefore lose access to
federally funded educational programs.
Last year, the autism community had two significant legislative victories. The first was
the enactment of the Combating Autism Act, which authorizes nearly $1 billion over five
years to combat autism through research, screening, early detection and early
intervention. The second was the $7.5 million Congress included in the FY 2007 Defense
Appropriations bill for autism research to benefit affected military families and
others.
In 2007, one of Autism Speaks' legislative goals is to work with Congress to
develop and secure passage of a law to improve access to affordable autism treatment
and services. As Calcagni says, “There is a critical lack of government-funded
autism-specific support services, which are essential if adults with autism are to lead full,
safe and dignified lives.”

Cambridge Who's Who Named “King” Sponsor of Toys of Hope’s
Oheka Castle Holiday Party
Uniondale, NY December 14, 2006—Cambridge Who's Who, a leading global
networking organization for executives and professionals, has been named “King”
sponsor of Toys of Hope’s Oheka Castle Holiday Party.
Toys of Hope’s mission is to provide toys, books, clothing, and essential household
items to needy and homeless children and their families so that they can become more
self-sufficient and improve their children's lives. Randy Narod, President of Cambridge
Who's Who, says, "Cambridge Who's Who feels privileged to support Toys of Hope.
One reason we’re sponsoring this event is that Toys of Hope is run entirely by volunteers,
including its President, Melissa Doktofsky, and its Vice President, Tina Alfano, a
Cambridge Who's Who employee. We are also impressed that 100% of all financial and
in-kind contributions goes to the children and their families.”
In addition to Cambridge Who's Who donating funds to sponsor the Oheka Party,
Randy Narod has personally contributed a toy for each of the 350 children expected to
attend. The toys were purchased at My Toy Store in Albertson, NY, and Michael
Robinson, the store’s proprietor, extended a discount to contribute to the effort.
The 200 Cambridge Who's Who employees are conducting a Toys of Hope drive,
gathering a huge collection of items for needy and homeless children and families. As
Narod says, “If we can bring joy to these children, we’ve done something to make Long
Island a better place to live.”

(MWW) to form one of the most diverse executive publishing and professional
networking organizations in the world. Under the terms of the approved merger, the two
companies will operate under a single parent company Cambridge Who's Who
Publishing, Inc.
Current members of EWW and MWW will be active members of Cambridge
effective August 1, 2006. Members of both organizations will enjoy all of their current

leading networking resource for business executives and professionals across every
industry throughout the world," says Robbins.
Over the next 12 months, Cambridge will identify the needs of its members and add
value by offering additional forums for exchange, broadening its membership base, and
introducing new products and services for the purpose of personal and professional
development. While the majority of the operations will remain unchanged, simplifying

will come under a single Cambridge brand, generating further financial synergies and
member benefits.
