These are stories I've either reported on or wondered about over my years in local TV. They include both great tragedy and inspiring heroes.

My talk is part of the Cleveland Stories Dinner Parties series.

It is FREE to attend. Dinner is available at a moderate price. (A fixed-price, 3-course meal is just $20.)

Doors open for dinner at 5 p.m. My talk is at 7 p.m. and lasts an hour. I'll sign books after.
