Minneapolis, MN -- Barry ZeVan is the author of Barry ZeVan: My Life Among The Giants, A Memoir. The book recounts a lifetime of being welcomed by some of the world’s most powerful individuals with vivid memories of who they were as people. 

Encouraged to write the book by his good friend Jerry Stiller, ZeVan shares some of his fondest memories of an amazing career.

“Jerry encouraged me to do it about three years ago. He kept saying, ‘Barry, your life is a book. I’m telling you, you have to write your book,’ so I did,” said ZeVan.

ZeVan is perhaps best known as a popular television weatherman in markets across the United States from 1957 to 1988. Since delivering his final weather forecast on KARE-TV in Minneapolis/St. Paul in 1987, ZeVan has since gone on to host several TV specials, produce a number of award-winning documentaries and consult in the media relations field.

The book includes a 32-page library of photographs of ZeVan, taken with some of the world’s most famous broadcasters, politicians and celebrities, including President Truman, Woody Allen, Sammy Davis Jr., Shirley Jones, Gregory Peck, Henry Kissinger, Colin Powell, John Kerry and Ted Koppel to name just a few.

Barry will be guest on CUTV News Radio in an interview with Doug Llewelyn on Thursday, September 21 at 12pm EDT.

Barry ZeVan: My Life Among The Giants, A Memoir is available on Amazon
