I wonder if Larry informed Dan about this ever-so-riveting breaking news story....

Why would you post this? I am sure he is collecting upwards of $75,000 to $100,000 to give this talk. Its not like Brokaw felt the need to come to Philly and give this presentation. Its not news, its a professional speaking gig.

Dan, Brokaw is with NBC, not CBS.

@SteakWith: Actually, the Chamber was able to secure Tom Brokaw through the Free Library, so this isn't one of his normal paid events.

Dan, sorry to see that all you have to pass off as "gossip" is a press release from the Chamber of Commerce. Come clean on your felonious relationship with Larry Mendacious and recover some of the trust you so casually threw away.

How Brokaw ever got as far as he did is beyond me. He STILL can't pronounce the letter "l". I could never see why NBC wanted him as an anchor when he was so to understand sometimes.

Brokaw is in the keynote business. He just did a keynote for the SAP conference in Orlando in May. Key noting is nice income and he is one of the top touring key noters right now. Headline should read, "If you pay enough money, Brokaw will even speak at your bake sale."
