New York Times Notable Book "Imagining Robert" comes to life on the screen as Dowling College presents "Imagining Robert: My Brother, Madness and Survival", on February 9 from 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. in the Fortunoff Hall Ballroom on Dowling's Rudolph Campus in Oakdale. This one-hour film by the award-winning filmmaking team of Lawrence Hott and Diane Garey, will be followed by a discussion with Jay Neugeboren, author of the book, "Imagining Robert".
