Event Photos: George Jonas launches book with a little help from Conrad Black – UPDATED

Conrad Black speaking

Black noted that the reception he received from the attendees was warmer than he was used to over the past few weeks. In his introduction, he also said that knowing Jonas was one of the side-benefits of marrying Barbara Amiel (Jonas’s ex-wife).
