 It
was reunion time for Jeanie Cogan and Bob when he made his third annual
visit to the Barnes & Noble location in Encino, CA. The October 9 date
coincided with what would have been John Lennon's 61st birthday, which
added a special wistful note to the occasion, even though it came a few
days after The John Lennon Affair made a much welcome appearance on the
Los Angeles Times bestsellers list. |
 Among
those who turned out for the event were Mitchell Geffen, left, who shared
producer credits with Bob on some of the music shows Bob developed some
years ago, and Jay Lowy, a two-time president of the National Academy of
Recording Arts and Sciences, who headed the Jobete publishing arm of
Motown Records. A side note: At the time of his murder, John was recording
his new album for the label owned by Mitchell's brother, David. |
 Bob
and Kip Brown, who's devoted recent years to compiling a comprehensive
day-by-day from birth-to-death-and-thereafter diary of James Dean, planned
for publication sometime next year. They met a year ago, when Bob was
visiting stores in conjunction with his #1 Los Angeles Times bestseller,
The James Dean Affair. |

and Bob with Brenda Lowy, president of one of the nation's most successful
manufacturers and marketers of sachet originals. |
