Callaghan guest speaker at democratic committee meeting

Former TV journalist Pat Callaghan next week will “share stories, the insights of a seasoned reporter and a behind-the-scenes look at television news” at a meeting of the Hollis-Buxton Democratic Committee.

”During his career, he covered seven Maine governors, interviewed four sitting U.S. presidents and traveled to Northern Ireland with Sen. George Mitchell in the wake of the historic Good Friday Peace Agreement,” the committee wrote in a press release.

Callaghan spent more than four decades with News Center Maine in Bangor and Portland.

Attendees will be able to ask questions after the free talk, which begins at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 24, at Buxton Town Hall.
