Meir Yedid and Monsignor Dermot Brennan. While lecturing for SAM #194 on May 19th in Yonkers, New York I was pleasantly surprised when my old friend Msgr. Brennan attended the lecture. Few people know that in the 1970s and 1980s Msgr. Brennan wrote many of the instructions and ads for Tannen’s Magic. As a special surprise the club also provided him with a cake to celebrate his upcoming 80th birthday.
