AUBURN — Award-winning television/multimedia producer and author Andrew Och will visit the Auburn Public Library from 2 to 4 p.m. Friday, March 2, for a presentation on America’s First Ladies. The First Ladies Man will publish his second book, “Unusual for Their Time: On the Road with America’s First Ladies, Vol. 2,” in which he continues his tales from the road.
Och spent over a year traveling to nearly every location that helped tell the stories of every First Lady of the United States for the C-SPAN series, “First Ladies: Influence and Image.”
He covered Martha Washington through Michelle Obama, and visited with people and places all across the country. From Colonial Williamsburg to Stanford University, he was given an all-access backstage pass to some of the nation’s most treasured collections and historical landmarks. He spent time in libraries and museums, homes and schools, birthplaces and cemeteries, train stations and churches. No stone was left unturned, nor door left unlocked, in his unique and historical journey to learn everything he could about these women before, during and after their time in the White House.
A storyteller from a young age, Och enjoys the art of communication, and will go anywhere in the world for more knowledge, greater understanding and amazing stories. After the success of volume one, Och picks up his journey in the 1900s with Edith Roosevelt and goes all the way up to the current administration with Melania Trump.
His compelling research and perspective on this unique sorority of women continues to give readers and audiences everywhere a behind-the-scenes look at some of the rarest and most interesting historical collections and locations in America.
