About the Author :
Alexander "Sam" Aldrich has a long history of public service to the city and state of New York, having served as a deputy police commissioner in New York City, director of the New York State Division for Youth, executive assistant to Governor Nelson Rockefeller, president of the Brooklyn Center of Long Island University, and commissioner of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. He has taught commercial law, public policy, and urban and environmental studies at Skidmore College, the University at Albany---SUNY, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and SUNY Empire State College's Center for Distance Learning. He lives in Saratoga Springs.

Review :
"Aldrich's recollection of events is prodigious, and he tells his life story with a fair amount of introspection and humor. The book is an intriguing insider's look at [New York] state history over the last half-century." - Hudson Valley Magazine "Dancing with the Queen, Marching with King is a capably written memoir [that] captures a fascinating life during one of the liveliest times in modern history." - Schenectady Daily Gazette "Every day, it seems, some notable moneymaker announces that he's retiring 'to make a difference in the world,' as if his previous career had been a vain and useless waste of his talents. Maybe it was; if so, more's the pity he didn't get down to making a difference earlier. That's what Sam Aldrich did, in public (and private philanthropic) service. Now, for his endgame, he has written a rare and wonderful memoir of what it actually means to make this kind of difference. His book is full of satisfactions, disappointments, and laughter. It is must reading for any young person who wants to go and do likewise. There are bonus chapters as well: a brilliant account of the 1965 March on Selma, and of how to release a cow trapped under a manure spreader in sub-zero weather." - Nelson W. Aldrich IV, author of Old Money: The Mythology of Wealth in America
