NVDA 60th Annual Meeting
Thursday, September 23, 2010
6:00pm
Lyndon State College
Guest Speaker: Jon Margolis
A resident of the Northeast Kingdom, Jon Margolis is an
adjunct professor of political science at the University
of Vermont, and a veteran newspaper man. He spent twenty-four
years with the Chicago Tribune, most of that time as Chief
Political Correspondent in Washington DC. He is also the
author of three books.
Jon got his start as a copy boy for the New York Daily
Mirror. Since his retirement from the Tribune, he has written
for the New York Times Magazine, American Prospect, the
New Republic, Mother Jones, High Country News, and 7 Days.
In 2008, Margolis launched a website to write and produce
stories and opinion of Vermont's political and public affairs:
www.vermontnewsguy.com,"Real
News for Real Vermonters." Jon's commentary is salty, witty
and wise. He has a keen eye on the November gubernatorial
election and guests who attend NVDA's Annual Meeting at
Lyndon State College on September 23rd will hear his views
on politics, the current economy, and other relevant topics.
Among Jon's leisure enjoyments is fishing. He wrote "How
to Fool Fish with Feathers: An Incomplete Guide to Fly Fishing."
He and his wife Sally live in Barton.
The public is welcome!
