Dr. Horner then gave a multimedia presentation with stories from the book and the audience got to hear Stormin’ Norman speak and take questions. Norman & Charlie autographed books which many audience members also had signed by the other celebrities there. The book signings were coordinated by APM Board member Pamela Horner. To honor Norman Seldin’s fondness for New Orleans R&B, the Asbury Park Museum’s Outreach Coordinator, Susan Rosenberg prepared an amazing refreshment table with pralines, chocolate guitars and other snacks from River Street Sweets on Cookman Avenue.
