Grandson of Brooke Astor to speak at Bangor event on elder abuse

20 June 2024

AARP Maine and Legal Services for Maine Elders are hosting an event Thursday in Bangor that features a keynote address by elder justice advocate Philip Marshall, whose grandmother was philanthropist Brooke Astor, a seasonal Northeast Harbor resident.

Marshall’s father, Anthony Marshall, was convicted of grand larceny after being accused of diverting nearly $1 million from his mother, who had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

Marshall will share his story at the event, Dark Secrets: The Terrible Truth About Elder Abuse, at Gracie Theatre at Husson University. The keynote is at 9:45 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. and will be followed by a on-site broadcast of Maine Public’s Maine Calling radio program.

Attendees must register in advance and can also watch it over Zoom.
