Afternoon Program
Eddie Melin presents Stories From an Old Man
Eddie Melin was born in rural Missouri in 1912. He
documented memories of the next ninety-seven years in
Stories From an Old Man. They include a life-threatening
rabbit hunt and being chaperoned by Al Capone's Kansas
City kingpin. He graduated from Central Missouri State
University during the days of prohibition and the Depression.
After teaching a few years, he soaked up the music scene in
New York and earned his Master's Degree from Columbia
University.
Eddie's philosophy is that all one needs in life are love,
laughter, and music. He experienced all three. Even World
War II provided stories of a stolen piano and a Christmas
party for war orphans.
Eddie has lived in Amarillo over sixty years. He is known for
his work with the Amarillo Symphony and his ownership of
the book and record store, Cooper & Melin. He serves on the
symphony board and is this year's recipient of the
Beethoven Society Award. He wishes he still played tennis,
but laid down his racquet at ninety-four.
Don't forget about the Questions/Answers/Networking
following the afternoon session. It is a good opportunity to
network, ask fellow writers questions, and mingle with other
PPW members. You never know where inspiration will strike
next!
