2024-10-29 00:00:00Z | Oct. 28, 2024 | Stan Bunger, Broadcaster & Author | Mornings with Madden: My Radio Life with an American Legend | Oct. 29, 2024 |
Stan Bunger is an American broadcast journalist who was the morning co-anchor at KCBS in San Francisco for more than 20 years. Bunger is a 1973 graduate of Leigh High School and received his B.A. in Broadcast and Electronic Communications from San Francisco State University. He was inducted to the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame in 2010 and to the San Francisco State University Alumni Hall of Fame in 2011. Join us while he tells stories from his new book, "Mornings with Madden". ​Despite his international fame, there was a side of football legend known only to those who listened to San Francisco morning radio. San Francisco is where John Madden grew up, lived, & died and where, for decades he found joy in a daily chat with his hometown radio station. It was a chance to unwind, tell stories, and impart his own brand of wit and wisdom. In "Mornings With Madden, Stan - who was on the other side of that radio mic - illuminates this larger-than-life figure, drawing upon memories of more than fifteen years of daily broadcasts.

After completing the world's most advanced brewing program, Gordon returned to California and joined forces with restaurateur Dean Biersch to take advantage of a new state law allowing "brewery" restaurants. In 1988, the partners opened their first Gordon Biersch brewery restaurant in Palo Alto. Now, Dan directs the operations at his state-of-the art canning and bottling San Jose brewery, the 15th largest brewing company in the country.

2025-01-21 00:00:00Z | Jan. 20, 2025 | Mike Lynch, Author | Alcatraz: The Last Escape | Jan. 21, 2025 |
It is an enduring mystery whether Frank Morris, and brothers John and Clarence Anglin, escaped from Alcatraz prison in 1962. It is widely believed that they succumbed to the waters of San Francisco Bay, though no trace of the men has ever been found―only their makeshift raft. Our guest speaker, Mike Lynch co-authored a book with the escapees' nephew, Ken Widner, in which they present compelling evidence that Morris and the Anglin uncles did in fact survive. Join us for this account of a fascinating slice of Bay Area history. |

This presentation will explore the impact of mental health conditions on our youth and how innovative treatment programs can be a critical resource. Dr. Zumarraga will be joined by Sam Kotmel who is an ASPIRE graduate. The program changed Sam's life and taught her vital skills that she uses on a daily basis. She has a bachelors degree from Otis College of Art and Design and is currently applying to go back to school to pursue a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. |
