Do you remember “Dandy Don” Meredith? We do! So does newspaper columnist Dave Lieber, who has written the first comprehensive biography of this legendary quarterback and broadcaster, capturing the vibrant life of a man who helped shape the Dallas Cowboys' identity. From his small-town roots in Mount Vernon, Texas, to his charismatic presence on the field and in the broadcast booth alongside Howard Cosell on Monday Night Football, Meredith’s story is one of talent, humor, and trailblazing spirit. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear Lieber share more about Meredith’s enduring legacy as a beloved icon whose influence extended far beyond the world of football. Following the talk, books will be available for purchase, and Dave will be happy to sign them.
Author Dave Lieber has worked as a national award-winning Texas newspaper columnist for more than 30 years, first at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and then at The Dallas Morning News, where he writes the widely read “Watchdog” column. Beyond his impactful journalism, Lieber is a distinguished playwright, credited with two highly successful productions, including “Amon! The Ultimate Texan.” Additionally, he is recognized as a certified professional speaker with expertise in leveraging the power of storytelling within the business realm. Dandy Don Meredith – The First Dallas Cowboy is his 10th book.
