Presentation Summary

FORGOTTEN HOLLYWOOD
I have made over 100 presentations to local Rotary Organizations in Chicago (the home of Rotary), Las Vegas, and all-over Southern California including stops in Hollywood, Long Beach, San Diego, Carpinteria, and Huntington Beach. I share stories about how the actors of Hollywood's Golden Era have shaped Americana. The Old West, the end of World War II, the Kennedy Assassination, and the evolution of how society tackles disease and disability all have ties to Hollywood. I even have stories that relate to Rotary International and Tinseltown (including Rotary's internation cause to end polio globally) and the creation of the most popular sandwich in America.

Local chapters have invited me back for multiple engagements at their weekly meetings. My name, fortunately, is well-known among the Rotary faithful. AND, I have new stories to share, since I have put out a new book in the Forgotten Hollywood franchise in September 2025.
