In a just released book, “Don’t Tell the President”, readers experience seldom to never before told stories about what happens behind the scenes by the people who were there: advance men and women. They served Presidents and Vice Presidents and many agreed to look back and share their stories with authors Jean Becker and Tom Collamore.

As shown above at the LBJ Presidential Library, the co-authors hit the road and have been sharing the book and the stories with large audiences at Presidential Libraries and other locations across the country.

It is our good fortune that this coming Wednesday, March 4th at 6:00 PM the Avalon Foundation and Spy Community Media will present author Tom Collamore in a conversation with Craig Fuller

This conversation should be all the more interesting because Tom and Craig have been colleagues and friends in and out of government for 45 years, having met at the beginning of the Reagan Administration in 1981.

On Wednesday, March 4th, the doors open in the Stoltz Listening Room at 5:30 PM. To attend the event, click REGISTER. Seats are going fast.

As a short preview, Tom Collamore and Craig Fuller had an online discussion about “Don’t Tell the President” around the time of its release.

This video is approximately eight minutes in length.

Books will be available at the event or wherever you purchase your books. For purchase by mail, CLICK HERE.
