Bob Spitz was born, lived, went to high school and college on the same street, in Reading, Pennsylvania. Once he strayed off the block, however, his life veered into diverse and fascinating realms. A longtime musician, he retired from the music business in 1980 to pursue his love of writing. His biography, Dearie: The Remarkable Life of Julia Child, was published on the centenary of her birth, in August 2012. For full speaker bio and event details please visit: https://bit.ly/3Kq5AWI
