The Pulitzer Prize winning author, Michael Chabon, was recently elected to fill the role as chairman of the board of directors of a prominent artist colony. The Associated Press reported this in December, 2010: Michael Chabon, the novelist, screenwriter and father of four, has a new responsibility. He has been elected chairman of the board of the directors of the MacDowell Colony, the century-old artist residency program based in Peterborough, N.H. Chabon, best known for his Pulitzer Prize-winning "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay," replaces Robert MacNeil, author and television newsman who is retiring after serving 17 years. MacNeil turns 80 in January. Chabon, 47, has been a resident nine times at MacDowell and told The Associated Press on Monday that he was eager to contribute to an institution that had done so much for him.
