In Memoriam: Tim Russert from BEA 2006
In honor of Tim Russert, we are re-distributing this May 2006 podcast.
Tim was the opening night keynote speaker for BookExpo America when it was in Washington, D.C. At the time, Tim had just released his book, Wisdom of our Fathers: Lessons and Letters from Daughters and Sons (Random House), and during his speech Tim welcomed BEA to Washington D.C. and shared his insights on family life as well as Washington politics. Tim is introduced on the podcast briefly by myself and Random House Senior Editor Susan Mercandetti.
On behalf of BookExpo America and booksellers and bookbuyers everywhere, Tim’s wisdom and words will be missed.
Lance Fensterman
Director of BookExpo America
