Eckhartz Everyday


 *On this day in 2018, Eckhartz Press author John Landecker (Records Truly Is My Middle Name) was lured to Grand Valley State University to give a speech to a media class. Little did he know that we had been working behind the scenes to get him his college diploma. (He had left school a few hours short because he got a great job offer). He was shocked, surprised and thrilled when he was informed he was now officially a college graduate.



*Also on this day in 2018, Lee Kingsmill (Safe Inside) appeared on WGN Radio to promote his new Eckhartz Press book. On the other end of the microphone that day, Nick Digilio. You can listen to it here.



*On this day in 1974, Joel Daly delivered a commentary about the Apollo mission. That commentary is included in his book The Daly News, and because I am so swell, I've also excerpted it here.
