Reminiscing about fatherly advice

This from CityHallNews.com's 40 rising stars under 40

Ryan Toohey
Principal, Global Strategy Group
age: 32
Nickname picked: Fritz

“One of the things that my father taught me and practiced was a level of access and openness that I thought was very cool,” Ryan Toohey said, reflecting on growing up the son of the then Assembly parliamentarian Timothy Toohey and godson of Joe Crangle, then the Democratic state chair.


Ryan Toohey's name may sound familiar since last time he was in the news was as Spitzer campaign manager as he was arrested for DUI. Irony of invoking what his father has taught him and practiced is that when his father came to the police precinct to bail him out, Timothy Toohey consequently was arrested for DUI as well. A family that drinks together stays in the klink together.
