Roland Gammon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roland Gammon was a noted American writer. A native of Caribou, Me., he graduated from Colby College and then studied at Oxford University. He served with the Air Corps in World War II and then became a reporter for Time-Life.

In the 1950's Mr. Gammon was part of a publicity team in mid-town Manhattan, whose clients included Sen. John F. Kennedy.

In the 1960's Mr. Gammon devoted increasing amounts of time to writing, resulting in five books on religion: "Nirvana Now," "Believers Are Brothers," "Truth Is One," "Faith Is a Star" and "A God For Modern Man." He was president of World Authors Ltd. and Editorial Communications Inc. He was also past president of the Universalist Church in New York City and dean of its all-faith chapel. Notable contacts in Gammon's life as a writer included Walt Disney and Albert Schweitzer, who wrote a paper with Gammon just weeks before his death in 1965. http://home.pcisys.net/~jnf/mdnstory.html
