ROBIN WILLIAMS AND THE SCREEN ACTORS GUILD /
AMERICAN FEDERAL OF TELEVISION AND RADIO ARTISTS

SCREENING ROOM - NEW YORK - NEW YORK

What do you do, what do you say, when suddenly you pick up the telephone and learn that the one person who was instrumental in helping you survive what most people look back upon as the most agonizing years of their life in high school has now died? What do you do, what do you say when you learn that he not only died, but he took his own life? Something he had always adamantly denied he would ever do! Pray. Go into action. Work to memorialize him in as many ways as you can. Let no one ever forget him.

Thus, when my nephew first contacted me on April 16, 2016 to ask me my thoughts about what to name the new screening room that the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists ("SAG-AFTRA") was building in New York, it didn't take a millisecond for me to respond, "Robin Williams." It was then not even hours before the train left the tracks and in weeks thereafter I learned my idea had been approved. Thus, when my staff came to me this morning, Saturday, October 8, 2016, and handed me these articles my heart was overjoyed. My nephew Adam Huss of SAG-AFTRA and his associates Cyd Wilson made it happen. Robin, may the world appreciate you even more reverently through the auspices that this new facility. God Bless.
