ABC News anchor Bob Woodruff will speak about his experience as a journalist embedded with the troops in Iraq as part of Drake Hospital's traumatic brain injury symposium. In January 2006, Woodruff, then co-anchor of World News Tonight, and his camerman were severely injured an IED attack north of Baghdad. He and his wife Lee--author, freelance writer, and contributing editor at ABC's Good Morning America--chronicled their family’s journey to recovery in the best-selling memoir In An Instant: A Family’s Journey of Love and Healing. The Woodruffs have since dedicated themselves to putting a face on the serious issue of TBI, especially among America’s injured military personnel. This Web-based telecast of the speech was arranged by the UC chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists and the Cincinnati chapter of NABJ.
When: Tuesday, April 1, 8 pm
Where: UC campus, 450 Lindner Center

I've followed Bob's and Lee's saga from day one, as my daughter and her husband have also been dealing with his brain injury. My son-in-law's case, however, has not turned out nearly as well. I wish Bob and his family all the luck and love in the world.
duh--primary reason for writing a comment here was to ask whether this event will be televised--C-Span, etc.?
Sorry, Bernice, no, it was telecast live on UC's campus and I don't think it'll be available anywhere online.
