Art Schreiber is retired in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and has a colorful past.  He grew up on an Ohio farm and always wanted to be in radio.  (There was no TV then.) He has been a reporter, anchorperson, news director, bureau chief for Westinghouse Broadcasting Company and manager of 7 radio stations ...New York, Philadelphia, Minneapolis/St Paul, Los Angeles and Albuquerque.

Art covered John F. Kennedy in his quest for the presidency and covered his funeral.  He travelled with Martin Luther King Jr. through the early sixties including the Selma to Montgomery March and the Meredith March across Mississippi.  He covered manned space and his most memorable assignment was covering the Beatles on their first cross country tour of America.  Art played monopoly with John Lennon and George Harrison night after night on the tour.  You will be able to hear his stories and view his memorabilia. 

Art woke up blind in August of '82.  He joined the National Federation of the Blind, received blind skill training and continued his work in broadcasting.  Today he is the "poster boy" for the senior blind.  He speaks nationally to groups and he preaches "there is life after blindness".
