Hello!

I just wanted to recommend Teresa Irish's program "A Thousand Letters Home."  We had her at our library last Thursday evening and couldn't have been happier.  We are a smaller library, but we had about 50 patrons attend the program, which was great.  We actually co-sponsored this program with our local history center due to our budget, but it was a great project to collaborate on.

Teresa was very professional.  She brought just about everything with her, so set up and tear down was very easy.  She took time after the program to talk to attendees and sign her book.  The patrons really enjoyed her program.  Through letters and stories, she tells the story of her dad's life through WWII.  What makes this program so successful, though, is the fact that many people can relate to his story.  This is a great program for anyone who has served or who knows someone who has served our country.  It's also great for anyone who enjoys learning about our nation's history.  We had a multi-generational audience, which was awesome to see!
