Time: 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM Location: Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center, 110 Shenandoah Ave. Howard was pretty much off advertising's radar screen 'til a few years ago.

They called it THE BOOK OF GOSSAGE. There's more to the story and it will be told by Bruce Bendinger, official historian of the Gossage legend.AAF Roanoke is proud to present an intimate look at the genius that was Howard Gossage. Presented by Bruce Bendinger, Author of "The Book of Gossage." If you enjoyed our "Mad Women" presentation, and rich stories from our industry's history, you won't want to miss this luncheon.
