Dear Society Members,
It is my honor and pleasure to share a bit of wonderful news. Olivia Rutigliano and John Buffalo are officially the proud parents to Violet Barbara Mailer – born Tuesday evening, February 17, 2026. I have it on good authority that all parties are currently celebrating with a good rest.
Violet is officially the youngest Lifelong Member-to-be of the Mailer Society. It is my sincerest wish that she grow up with grace and guidance, live up to her namesakes, join our ranks, and one day outclass and outthink us all.
In the meantime, please simply join me in welcoming Violet into the world and offering my congratulations to her loving parents.
With Love and Gratitude,
~Matthew Hinton
President, Norman Mailer Society
