The march continues towards the upcoming 50th anniversary reunion of the North American Soccer League (as part the rechristening of the National Soccer Hall of Fame in Frisco, TX on October 19-21, 2018), with one of the coaching pioneers from the league’s heyday, Gordon Jago (A Soccer Pioneer: The Autobiography of Gordon Jago).

Bill Owen, the retired ABC radio-TV announcer and author or co-author of ten books including the first encyclopedia of old-time radio “The Big Broadcast,” will present a program remembering those great old radio programs at Rolling Green Village community in Greenville, South Carolina on May 11, 2018.  The Shadow, Little Orphan Annie, Jack Armstrong, The Lone Ranger, Jack Benny, Charlie McCarthy, Fibber McGee and Molly, The Great Gildersleeve, Gabriel Heatter, Kay Kyser’s Kollege of Musical Knowledge, Nick Carter, I Love a Mystery, Ma Perkins, and many others will spring back to life in this trip down Memory Lane.

J. Chester Johnson was quite overwhelmed by the recently published article in Literary Matters of the Association of Literary Scholars, Critics, and Writers, recapping his appearance at the Cultural Center in New York City last November.  The article noted that, “An observer got the overwhelming sense that Chester is a man of not only great learning and output, but also of incredible generosity, a resource that was in high demand this night as guests gleefully crowded the table on which his books lay (Auden, the Psalms, and Me and Now And Then: Selected Longer Poems).”  Click here to read the full article.

Gordon Jago’s book signing, held recently at the Barnes & Noble/Creekwalk Village in Plano, Texas went well, and according to the store owners, was a “successful, fun event for our store!”  Here are a few pictures from the signing:
