I know I've seen her name mentioned here at least once, but I can't resist putting one more recommendation in the mix for author Teresa Irish. Her book, A Thousand Letters Home: One WWII Soldier's Story of War, Love and Life chronicles her father's life and the discovery of his one thousand letters written from the Western Front of World War II. Her presentation, from the first word, was gripping and entertaining. By the end, we hadn't one dry eye in the house and many of our senior patrons were singing wartime radio ballads and folk favorites with her. I'm tempted to say that if you have a large senior population or a rabid base of WWII enthusiasts, this would be the program to feature. But truly, her program is universally appealing and our audience here at Shelby was rapt every minute.
