APSU Alumnus, Dr. Bob Patton Book Signing 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m.
Pace Alumni Center at Emerald Hill
APSU Alumnus, Dr. Robert “Bob” Patton (’57, ’59), will be on campus at the Pace Alumni Center at Emerald Hill for a book signing on Friday, Feb. 24, 2012. Join us from 11:30-1 p.m. Books will be available for purchase ($17.50 apiece) and refreshments will be provided.
Tennessee Political Fireworks is a collection of political stories by Robert D. “Bob” Patton. The stories are a result of Bob’s decades in local and state politics and preserve some of the history as well as human interest.
Included stories reveal how politics works, sometimes with a little “arm-twisting” to get the desired result. While some are humorous or thought provoking and philosophical, others will spark interest to almost anyone with a desire to learn more about the real world of politics.
Dr. Patton served as a County Commissioner, Election Official, State Representative, part-time employee for the Secretary of State and is still employed as a Sargent-at-Arms in the Tennessee House.
For more information, contact the Alumni Relations Office at 931-221-7979.

OTHER INFORMATION...
APSU Alumnus, Blakey Bradley ('64), announces the selling of his newest book, Austin Peay Football 80 Years: 1930-2010.
Austin Peay Football 80 Years: 1930-2010, tells the story of the APSU football program from its origin in 1930 to the present time. As you read the book, it is hoped you will gain a greater appreciation of APSU football and get a glimpse into the history of this program.
This is author Blakey Bradley’s (’64) third sports history book to be printed. His first book, The History of Athletics at “old” Clarksville High School from 1907-1969 and his second book, Govs in the “Little Red Barn”. A portion of the proceeds from the Book, Govs in the “Little Red Barn” was donated back to the men’s basketball program and a portion of his newest book on APSU football will be donated back to the football program. We thank Blakey for his tireless efforts in helping to raise funds for APSU athletics and for his continued support.
Fifty percent of the profit is being donated to the Austin Peay football program. For every 100 books sold, Governors football will receive $1000. Books are now available for sale at the Pace Alumni Center at Emerald Hill (APSU Alumni Relations Office). If you would like to purchase a book, please visit us at the Pace Alumni Center at Emerald Hill (751 North Second St. Clarksville, TN 37040) for $30 (no shipping fee) or contact Blakey Bradley at (931)647-7555 or wblakeyb@bellsouth.net.
