What an amazing evening! Teresa is a mesmerizing personality and the program flows smoothly from World War II to current day. Many of our patrons mentioned the word <i>inspiring</i> when the evening was over, and I couldn’t agree more. If you haven’t had the opportunity to have Teresa Irish come to your library yet, I recommend her “A Thousand letters Home” presentation.
