 Kershaw Burbank -1914 - 2008
Kershaw Burbank remembered. Please read this bio and one of his short stories. You will be glad you did!
Kershaw Burbank was unanimously voted in 2006 as the first Embroiled News, "MAN OF THE YEAR!" In our February 2009 issue of the Embroiled News Blog we published in remembrance of Kershaw Burbank one of his short stories, "Wait for Tomorrow."
Among his many lifetime accomplishments, Kershaw Burbank was also one of the first contributing writers to the Embroiled News. The contributions of his original works were read and appreciated by our local readership in South Florida, and lately, via the Internet throughout the world. As an author with an illustrious career, he nonetheless continued to contribute a number of stories and freely gave his advice to helped launch our still fledgling publication.
Born in New York, a graduate of Collegiate School and Yale University, he began his writing career as a publicist with M G M in its glory days. Next he was associated with such writers as Richard Condon and the late Theodor S. Geisel (“Dr. Seuss”) in a number of strange ventures as the Infantograph and Sing-A-Tina. He directed Colonial Williamsburg’s first national marketing program, which led to his association for many years as an advisor on public affairs to the Rockefeller family and its interests. He was a founding officer of Educational Broadcasting Corporation (CH 13/WNDT / now WNET) and, after its successful establishment, he was named executive Vice-resident and a director of Infoplan International. His last corporate position was as a senior vice president of the Franklin Institute, America’s oldest scientific institution.
After his retirement, Kershaw Burbank devoted his full time to writing. He has written a number of published magazine articles on biography, history and travel.
"Wait for Tomorrow," is presented here as it was first published in the Embroiled News hard copy in March, 1995. It was one of many published contributions by Kershaw Burbank. He will be dearly missed by everyone who knew him and was touched by his kindness.
