Geists aim to share stories of their father-son relationship at Press Club Book Rap, June 5

Just in time for Father’s Day! Award-winning journalists Bill and Willie Geist plan to share stories of their funny and heartwarming father-son relationship at a National Press Club Book Rap on June 5 at 2 p.m. in the Ballroom.

Registration is required here and is open to Press Club members for $5 and non-members for $10. The admission fee is waived when Club members pre-order a copy of the book, an option available on the ticket form. This event is a fundraiser for the NPC Journalism Institute. Books must be purchased through the NPC. No outside books or memorabilia permitted. All sales are final; no refunds will be issued.

Told in a unique back-and-forth banter style, this extended conversation riffs on everything from music and sports to summer camp, driving lessons, family life and other mandatory father-son topics.

After Bill went public with his struggle with Parkinson’s Disease, the Geists decided to collaborate on this book so their children and grandchildren would have a record of their unique bond. Now that Willie is a father (and Bill a grandfather), Willie has continued Bill's child-rearing traditions in the hopes of carrying on the riotous Geistian parenting legacy. The result is delightfully entertaining, wildly funny and poignant.
