About the event

RMWF Writers Series Presents Barry Petersen
CBS News calls Barry Petersen one of its most experienced correspondents in a network news career spanning more than four decades. Over his career, he has lived in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Moscow, London, Tokyo, and Beijing.
He is also the author of Jan’s Story, Love Lost to the Long Goodbye of Alzheimer’s. Petersen and his wife, Jan, also a journalist, lived around the world. Petersen covered some of the worst conflicts our generation has seen, while his wife anchored their daily lives. They both expected many more years of fabulous adventures. Then one diagnosis instantly ended it all: at age 55, Jan was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease.
Jan’s Story follows their complex, sometimes sad, sometimes joyful, journey of survival. Jan was alive but no longer remembered her husband of 20 years. Petersen met a woman—herself a widow—who understood his grief and the pain of loss. Together Petersen and Mary Nell created a “family of three,” including and caring for Jan.
The first 200 people at this event will receive a FREE copy of Jan’s Story: Love Lost to the Long Goodbye of Alzheimer’s.
