3. MORE ON PAULA BROADWELL (USMA '95), AUTHOR OF NEW BOOK ON GEN DAVID PETRAEUS (USMA '74):
As mentioned last week, former Denver BizNet member Paula Broadwell (USMA '95) has authored a biography on GEN David Petraeus (USMA '74). Her book went on sale this past week, and is titled All In: The Education of General David Petraeus.
Paula appeared on several national media segments this past week and will be coming thru Denver for book signings in March. Here's a link to see her interview on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart this past Wednesday. http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-january-25-2012/paula-broadwell
In another segment on the same show, Paula challenged Jon Stewart to a push-up contest to raise money for wounded warrior organizations. http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-january-25-2012/exclusive---push-up-contest-to-benefit-wounded-veterans
Thanks to BizNet member Leo DeGreef (USAFA '79) for passing along these links.
Visit the book's website, at www.paulabroadwell.com. We've invited Paula to speak at BizNet when she comes thru Denver in March, although her travel schedule for that period is not yet solidified.

Have a great week.
