(Jewish Exponent via JTA) One year before his death, 102-year-old Alan Tripp received national media coverage for being the writer, broadcaster and marketer of “Senior Song Book,” an album of original songs, along with his writing partner Marvin Weisbord. The album was covered by CBS, NPR, The Washington Post and even “The Kelly Clarkson Show.”
“Aside from boundless creativity, Alan was a hopeless romantic. He wrote verses non-stop and enjoyed charming an audience,” Weisbord said in a statement.
Tripp was born in Leavenworth, Kansas, and graduated from Northwestern University. He worked as a newspaper reporter in Chicago, a radio broadcaster in New York, a copywriter for a New York advertising agency and a columnist for an ad business trade journal before moving to Philadelphia.
