In December 2006. KCET/PBS Los Angeles, "Life & Times" featured a segment on our new book The Story of Hollywood and author Greg Williams. Special thanks to Vicki Curry, segment producer for her support and interest in the project! Also seen on Real Orange News, PBS KOCE TV / Channel 5

We presented a copy of "The Story of Hollywood" to Honorary Mayor Johnny Grant at the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce's Annual "Hollywood Expo." Johnny introduced Greg to the audience and the book was prominently featured throughout the evening. We also had active interest from the Chamber and many other businesses and individuals in attendance.

More to come....!
