I am excited to announce a very special series we will start off with a bang tonight.  These guests have made their careers in the entertainment industry. Whether in music, films,, on stage, authoring books, or other entertainment related fields.  There is no better way to begin this series than with just such a person who has done them all – Tom Sullivan.  From his early days at the Perkins School for the Blind throough his recent 15th book, Tom has done it all.  How did this happen?
