Two years ago, we met Vernice “FlyGirl” Armour when she was a keynote speaker at the 2009 Executive Women in Goverment Summit and she wowed the audience with her energy, enthusiasm and  accomplishments.  Vernice has since become a good friend and supporter of HBE, helping us find a corporate sponsor for our first “Author Meet & Greet” at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. We thought she should write a book about her journey – the first female African-American on Nashville’s […]

While his classes at Harvard with 1,000 undergraduates in rapt attention are legendary, it was very interesting to read about Prof. Sandel’s successes in Asia — see  Tom Friedman’s Op-Ed in the New York Times.  Wish there was more interest […]

Ted Danson and OCEANA

As summer approaches,our thoughts turn to sun, sand and the beach. But, our recent author event with Ted Danson (yes, that Ted Danson of “Cheers”, “Becker” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm”) and his first book “Oceana” will make us think about the the state of the oceans, and the efforts necessary to preserve them.  For the past 25 years, Ted Danson’s passion has been the preservation of the oceans, highlighting the problems of overfishing, acidification, destruction of habitats that keep the cycle […]
