 May 20, 2010 (Burlington, VT) - Her listeners have made The Nan O’Brien Show one of the leading nightly radio call-in programs every Saturday night on stations throughout the U.S. and Canada. During 2008-2009, Nan toured with her live program “Nan O’Brien’s Share the Spirit!” and spoke to sold-out audiences in twenty cities. This year, Nan’s tour includes ten cities nationwide and in Canada. From January through April, Nan appeared in St. Albans, Vermont and Montreal, Quebec.
The tour includes stops in Syracuse, New York (June 3rd); Portsmouth, New Hampshire (June 11th); Plattsburgh, New York (November 7th); Barre, Vermont (November 12th); Burlington, Vermont (November 14th); Middlebury, Vermont (November 19th); Montreal, Quebec (November 21st); Toledo, Ohio (TBA); and Colorado Springs, Colorado (TBA).
“Nan O’Brien’s Share the Spirit!” event is an exciting journey of spirituality. For three hours, Nan takes questions from the audience on issues such as career, family, health, and finances; and connects attendees with loved ones who have passed into Spirit. Nan also entertains the audience by sharing motivational messages with humorous anecdotes, engaging the audience with her down-to-earth warmth and a personal touch that is uplifting and inspirational. As one recent attendee noted, “Nan’s event was life changing! She’s like John Edward and Wayne Dyer all rolled into one!”
Since 2009, Nan has been pleased to be a spokesmodel for internationally-acclaimed fashion designer Joseph Ribkoff, headquartered in Montreal, Canada. Nan embraces the Joseph Ribkoff couture because of its embodiment of classic themes of style and grace. Says O’Brien: “Being on the road touring can present a real challenge when it comes to clothing. When I wear Joseph Ribkoff, I not only feel confident, but I never have to worry about my clothes being wrinkled, I’m always ready to go! Ribkoff designs are flattering, functional, and stylish; and I am always complimented on the beautiful styles. I love Joseph Ribkoff!”

YOU’VE SEEN HIS FACE A MILLION TIMES! NOW – FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER – MEET THE MAN WHO INSPIRED NORMAN ROCKWELL
For the first time ever, meet the man who inspired Norman Rockwell like no one else - the famous face of the Boy Scout seen by millions! - and hear of the discovery of a Rockwell portrait, a one-of-a-kind illustration the art world and public has never known existed!
 October 10, 2009 (Burlington, Vermont) – America’s love affair with Norman Rockwell continues, as evidenced by the 15-page spread in Vanity Fair’s November issue and the Smithsonian Institute’s recent announcement of a major exhibition from the private Rockwell art collections of none other than the directorial dynamic duo, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas – who both credit Norman Rockwell as their inspiration for filmmaking. The exhibition is underwritten by Booz Allen, because “Rockwell’s themes of love of country, personal honor, and the value of family and friendship align well with Booz Allen Hamilton’s mission and values.”
At a time in our country when these themes are even more crucial, more relevant, comes a book that sheds intimate insights into the man who inspired Rockwell who, in turn, inspired the world: James “Buddy” Edgerton.
The Unknown Rockwell: A Portrait Of Two American Families, with a Foreword by media legend Dick Clark, launched from the Norman Rockwell Museum on Thursday, October 8, 2009, amid an overflowing gallery of excited guests and more than twenty-five former Vermont Rockwell models. Vermont Governor Jim Douglas and Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick honored Edgerton and co-author Nan O’Brien. Two of Norman Rockwell’s sons, Jarvis and Tom, attended the event. In this rare public appearance, Jarvis shared his personal thoughts on their lives together with the Edgertons. At the book launch, the authors revealed the story of a previously unknown Rockwell portrait that has been in Edgerton’s family for almost sixty years - a bereavement gift from Rockwell himself, and the only Rockwell work known to be painted from memory. The portrait was unveiled publicly for the first time and is now on loan to the Norman Rockwell Museum.
“I must say that you have written this in such a way that makes it impossible to set the book down for any length of time. You have captured in writing what Rockwell did on canvas, a story that all can visualize and relate to…I am left without words…” – Tim Kavanagh, Television Host, CBS/WCAX
“Buddy Edgerton's memoir offers a compelling glimpse of Norman Rockwell’s Arlington…a warm reflection on the lives and times of beloved neighbors and friends who were immortalized in Rockwell’s art. We are honored to host the launch of Buddy Edgerton's personal narrative, and to share it with what will surely be an appreciative public."- Stephanie Plunkett, Deputy Director and Chief Curator of Norman Rockwell Museum.
