Hit After Hit, Smash After Smash, Blockbuster After Blockbuster... Here was another "monster" lunch where the "stars" didn't wait to come out at night. They were there at lunchtime!

Our MC for the afternoon was Broadcast Pioneers Board Member Ed Eisen. He was the first person of the Jewish tradition to serve as a spokesman for two popes. In another life, he posed for the Philadelphia Inquirer as a bomb-carrying terrorist. As a PR guy, he turned down an offer from the Mafia to represent its Prisoner of the Year. In broadcasting, Ed produced the popular "Flower Man Show" on WCAU-TV. And now at 82, he still gets up and goes to work as a Motivational Speaker.

Our speakers are all members of Broadcast Pioneers, and they were (in alphabetical order):

Amy Buckman, former Action News reporter on WPVI, Channel 6
Cindy Keiter, show performer and daughter of the late Les Keiter
Scott Palmer, Director for Public Affairs, the Philadelphia Phillies
David Yadgaroff, Sr. VP & Market Manager for Entercom (CBS Radio)

This all took place at the beautiful and historic Bala Golf Club, 2200 Belmont Avenue (across the street from the state police) in the Wynnefield section of Philadelphia. Only minutes away from Channels 6, 10 and 17 and the radio stations in Bala Cynwyd.
