Forever Young

The Youngest as a World's Fair President, Editor, Governor's Cabinet Leader, University Vice President

Herausgeber: Hendry, Leigh

Beschreibung

The author's autobiographical adventure chronicles his odyssey through a series of captivating events which occurred on international, national, state, and local levels, all while he held the distinction as the "youngest ever." He was the youngest: newspaper editor, governor's cabinet member, university vice president, and, most significantly, president of an international World's Fair. And, while none of the designations were intentionally sought, the author's recollection of the highlights of those moments showcases one man's unique journey across the political landscape of modern America.

Autor

Following the success of his inaugural memoir, Forever Young, Bo Roberts is launching his second book, Flaming Moderate, featuring his personal experiences, opinions, and excerpts from his extensive portfolio of op-ed columns.Beginning his writing career in the 1960s, Bo's achievements began early. He served as the youngest newspaper editor in the country, the youngest cabinet-level Chief of Staff for a Tennessee governor, and the youngest vice president of his alma mater-the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Continuing the trend, after his stint in higher education, Bo was selected as the youngest-ever CEO of an international exposition. He went on to be named president of the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville, an event celebrated as a record-breaking top tourist draw in the southeastern United States, a record that still stands in 2023. Bo leads his own boutique marketing consulting firm, Roberts Strategies LLC, and he stays active in politics and sports. He and his wife (and editor), Leigh Hendry, share an appreciation for wine, books, travel, and spending time with friends and family.
