About The Talk: Mary Jo Griffin, wife of the late Paul Sullivan, and editor Patrick Cook will discuss Sully: The Words, Wit and Wisdom of Paul Sullivan, a new book that celebrates the life of Paul Sullivan. Sullivan was a former Tewksbury selectman, accomplished talk-show host, Lowell Sun political editor and columnist, and Middlesex Community College faculty member. The handsome commemorative book, featuring Sullivan's columns, photos and remembrances from family, friends and coworkers, was published by the Middlesex Community College Foundation. Proceeds from the sale of the book will be used to establish the Paul H. Sullivan Scholarship.
About Paul Sullivan: Paul Sullivan (May 24, 1957 - September 9, 2007) was born in Lowell and lived most of his life in Tewksbury, where his father and grandfather had been on the town's Board of Selectmen. Sullivan would later serve on the Board himself. He graduated from Austin Prep in 1975, from UMass Lowell with a degree in political science, and from Simmons College with a Masters in Communication Management. Paul Sullivan began his career as a columnist and political editor for the Lowell Sun in 1991. His radio career began at WLLH in Lowell during th late 1980s. He hosted the "Morning Magazine" program. Sullivan started broadcasting in Boston a substitute talker on WRKO in 1996. Sullivan would later appear on a TV news roundtable on WCVB called "Five on Five." It was on this show that a popular WBZ talk show host, David Brudnoy, spotted Sullivan and recruited him for WBZ radio. He began working as a talk show host for WBZ in 1999. Upon his death, Dan Rae took over his time slot.
