PRESENTATION TOPICS
Journalist in Vietnam
Lucy Rose tells how and why she decided to “ghost write” her brother’s memoir: The Journalist: Life and Loss in America’s Secret War by Jerry A. Rose and Lucy Rose Fischer (Spark Press, 2020)
Her brother, Jerry Rose, was a journalist in Vietnam in the early 1960s. Through his articles and photographs, published in the major news media, he exposed the secret beginnings of America’s Vietnam War at a time when most Americans had not yet heard of Vietnam.
When he died in a plane crash in 1965, he left behind a treasure trove of journals, letters, and other writings. She has written his memoir in “collaboration” with her late brother, giving the term “ghost written” a whole new meaning.

It’s time for a radical re-thinking about this stage of life. Using a combination of research, practical information, personal stories, and vivid illustrations, this workshop will show how our older years can be the best time of life.
