Join us on Thursday, June 18 at 2:00pm for a virtual conversation with storyteller and popular blogger Ted Page as he charts about his book, Good Grandpa: Stories from the Heart of Grandfatherhood

When Page found out he was going to be a grandpa, he did a web search to learn more about the experience in store for him, but all he could find were references to the movie "Bad Grandpa". He couldn’t help but wonder, “where are the good ones?”

So Page started a blog, GoodGrandpa.com, and set out to talk with grandfathers from all walks of life, including a NFL pro athlete, a priest, a rabbi, an imam, physicians adapting to disability, an Air Force general, a Vietnam combat vet, and even newsman Tom Brokaw and comedy legend John Cleese as well as his Aunt Lois and the Dalai Lama, because why not? Along the way, Page delved into family histories—his own and those of the grandpas he interviewed—to reveal fascinating stories and lessons for living a good life. 

Good Grandpa: Stories from the Heart of Grandfatherhood is a heartfelt book that highlights Page’s journey to bring together the stories and wisdom of grandfathers from all walks of life—all with a mission to nurture the next great generation. 

Register today to submit questions for Page, who is also the author of 2017’s The Willoughby Chronicles, and find out why he believes that “our greatest generation is to come.”
