Times of My Life With Brian Brown, “Media Days in Manhattan”

Vashon resident Brian Brown, a former newspaper reporter, wire service correspondent, television documentarian and commentator, magazine writer and editor, as well as a political speech writer, comedy collaborator, media strategist and publicist for Time Magazine, will be the upcoming speaker for Vashon Community Care’s Telling Stories speaker series, November 9 at 4:30 pm at Bethel Church on Vashon.

Commenting on his three decades with Time-Life (1960-1990) Brown asserts that “they were the last great years in news magazine publishing.   Newsweek was our competitor and every seven days it was game on!”

Brian will share stories of some of the famous and infamous people he met along the way, including writing comedy for Bob Hope and Arthur Godfrey. Brian Brown: Media Days in Manhattan will begin at 4:30 pm on Sunday, November 9, following the Seahawks game. Brian’s talk will take place at Bethel Church.  This talk is part of Vashon Community Care’s Telling Stories Speaker Series, by and about Vashon Locals. Ticket sales are by donation and are available in advance at Vashon Book Shop, VCC or online at www.vashoncommunitycare.org. Proceeds from this talk will benefit Vashon Community Care Foundation.
