Excerpt from World Cat 10/07: John Shea
The Nantucket Atheneum presents a 2007 book talk / David Halberstam Tribute.
10/07
In the fall of 2007 colleagues and peers of David Halberstam, who was killed in a car accident in April of 2007, conducted the book tour he would have done. The Atheneum joined sixty other literary institutions and book stores nationwide. Steve Sheppard served as MC. Nat Philbrick read an excerpt from the book, Foley Vaughan and John Shea talked about their friendships with David Halberstam and Lawrence Coles, group spokesperson for a color guard of nine Korean War Veterans in attendance that night, spoke about why the book was important to him and his experience as a veteran.
