168 people attended our Conversation with Art Rooney Jr. today. It was the highest attendance in the 13 year history of the Lunch With Books program, breaking the record of 160 held by bestselling author James Alexander Thom and his wife Dark Rain. Today's program featured Mr. Rooney, Pittsburgh sportswriter Jim O'Brien, and sports radio host Bill DiFabio. The show was broadcast live on DiFabio's 1600 WKKX radio show. In my humble opinion, it was the best program we've hosted in my four years at the library. The stories were funny, touching, full of information, and very well told. Mr. Rooney was, as advertised, a first class gentleman with time for everyone, just like his father. Many many thanks to all who participated.
